COMMENTS

1. For a squarefree number with n distinct prime divisors a(n) = n+1. 2. If n = p^r then a(n) =tau'(n)= tau(n)= r+1. Question: Find tau'(n) in the following cases: 1. n = m^k where m is a squarefree number with r distinct prime divisors. 2. n = product {(p_i)^i}, n has r distinct prime divisors p_i., i = 1 to r.

Answers: 1. (r+k)!/(r!k!). 2. A000108(r+1). - David Wasserman, Jan 20 2005

I have submitted comments for A000108 and A016098 that each include a combinatorial statement equivalent to the second problem and its solution. [From Matthew Vandermast, Nov 22 2010]

EXAMPLE

a(30) = 4 and the divisors with distinct prime signatures are 1,2,6,30. The divisors 3 and 5 with the same prime signature as of 2 and the divisors 10 and 15 with the same prime signature as that of 6 are not counted.

The divisors of 36 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12 and 36. We can group them as (1), (2, 3), (6), (4, 9), (12, 18), (36) so that every group contains divisors with the same prime signature and we have a(36) = 6.

MAPLE

with (numtheory):

a:= n-> nops({seq(sort(map(x->x[2], ifactors(d)[2])), d=divisors(n))}):

seq (a(n), n=1..120);  # Alois P. Heinz, Jun 12 2012
