FORMULA

If n = p1^e1 * p2^e2 * ... * pj^ej for primes p1, p2, ..., pj and integer exponents e1, e2, ..., ej, then a(n) = |{k: ek >=2}| + T(j-1) where T(k) is the k-th triangular number A000217(k). The proof follows from the observation that any prime factor is either the square of a prime if that prime squared is a factor of n, or the product of 2 distinct primes in the factorization of n, which is the binomial coefficient C(j, 2) = T(j-1). - Jonathan Vos Post (jvospost3(AT)gmail.com), Dec 08 2004

a(n) = A106404(n) + A106405(n). - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), May 02 2005

a(n) = omega(n/core(n)) + binomial(omega(n),2) = A001221(n/A007913(n)) + binomial(A001221(n),2) = A056170(n) + A079275(n). - Rick L. Shepherd (rshepherd2(AT)hotmail.com), Mar 06 2006
