COMMENTS

This gives the "class-" number as opposed to the "class+" number. Not to be confused with the "class-number" of quadratic form theory.

a(n)=1 if A000040(n) is in A005109, a(n)=2 if A000040(n) is in A005110, a(n)=3 if A000040(n) is in A005111 etc.

FORMULA

a(n) = max { a(p)+1 ; prime(p) is > 3 and divides prime(n)-1 } union { 1 } - M. F. Hasler (Maximilian.Hasler(AT)gmail.com), Apr 16 2007

MAPLE
