Previous name: There exists an isomorphism from the positive rationals under multiplication to Z[x] under addition, defined by f(q) = e1 + (e2)x + (e3)(x^2) +...+ (ek)(x^(k-1)) + ... (where e_i is the exponent of the i-th prime in q's prime factorization) The a(n) above are calculated by a(n) = f^(-1)[d/dx f(n)] (In other words: differentiate n's image in Z[x] and return to Q).
With primes noted p_0 = 2, p_1 = 3, etc., let f be the function that maps n = Product_{i=0..d} p_i^e_i to P = Sum_{i=0..d} e_i*X^i; and let g be the inverse function of f. a(n) is by definition g(P') = g((f(n))'). - Luc Rousseau, Aug 06 2018

EXAMPLE
504 = 2^3 * 3^2 * 7 is mapped to polynomial 3+2X+X^3, whose derivative is 2+3X^2, which is mapped to 2^2 * 5^3 = 500. Then, a(504) = 500. - Luc Rousseau, Aug 06 2018
