COMMENTS

Also, number of prime factors (with multiplicity) of the product P(n) of the composite numbers between n-th and (n+1)-th prime.

The number of elements in the (SFP) Smarandache Factor Partition of P(n) (product of composite numbers between successive primes) with maximum length.

FORMULA

sum{A001222(k): A000040(n)<k < A000040(n+1)}. - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Nov 29 2002

EXAMPLE

a(6) = 8. Prime(6) = 13 and prime(7) = 17. 14, 15, and 16 are the composite numbers between 13 and 17.  14 has two prime factors (2 and 7); 15 has two prime factors (3 and 5); and 16 has four prime factors (2, 2, 2, and 2).  Thus, a(6) = 2 + 2 + 4 = 8 total prime factors.
