A064839 List the natural numbers starting a new row only with each new least prime signature (A025487). a(n) is the column position associated with n. 12

COMMENTS
Row 2 records the primes (A000040). Rows 3 and 4 record the semiprimes (A001358). Rows 5, 6 and 9 record the 3-almost primes (A014612) etc. A058933 is a similar sequence based on k-almost primes.
The graph of this sequence is interesting for large n because it shows multiple curves, one for each prime signature. For example, the six highest curves on the graph of a(n) for n up to 10^4 are for the (1,1), (1,1,1), (1), (2,1,1), (2,1), and (1,1,1,1) prime signatures. The (1) curve dominates until n=58; the (1,1) curve dominates until n=1279786, when the (1,1,1) curve intersects the (1,1) curve. Each {1,1,...,1) curve dominates for a finite number of n.

a(n) is the number of positive integers up to n with the same prime signature as n. For example, the a(20) = 3 numbers are {12, 18, 20}. - Gus Wiseman, Jul 08 2019

EXAMPLE
The list begins as follows:
1
2 3 5 7 11 13 17 19 23 29 31 37 41 43 47 53 ...
4 9 25 49 ...
6 10 14 15 21 22 26 33 34 35 38 39 46 51 ...
8 27 ...
12 18 20 28 44 45 50 52 ...
16 ...
Note: the above array, without the initial 1, is given by A095904 (and its transpose A179216). - Antti Karttunen, May 15 2017
