FORMULA

a(2) = 2; for r > 1, a(2^r) = 2^r + 6; for p = 3 or 5 and r > 0, a(p^r) = p^r + 2p; for p prime >= 7 and r > 0, a(p^r) = p^r + p. (Harary)

a(n) = a(p1^r1 p2^r2 ... pk^rk) = a(p1^r1) + ... + a(pn^rn) - F where F is a "correction factor" which depends on the exponents of the primes 2, 3 and 5 in the prime factorization of the number n. Call these values n2, n3 and n5 respectively.

The correction factor F is 0 if n3 = 0 (so unless 3 divides n, the upper bound is exact); 4 if n2 = 2, n3 >= 1 and n5 = 1; 3 if n2 != 2, n3 >=1 and n5 = 1; 1 if n2 = 2, n3 >= 1 and n5 != 1; 1 if n2 >= 2, n3 = 1 and n5 != 1; 0 otherwise.
