Comments

a(n) is the "weight" of composite numbers.

The decomposition of composite numbers into weight * level + gap is A002808(n) = a(n) * A179621(n) + A073783(n) if a(n) > 0.

Example

For n = 1 we have A002808(n) = 4, A002808(n+1) = 6; there is no k such that 6 - 4 = 2 = (4 mod k), hence a(1) = 0.
For n = 3 we have A002808(n) = 8, A002808(n+1) = 9; 7 is the smallest k such that 9 - 8 = 1 = (8 mod k), hence a(3) = 7.
For n = 24 we have A002808(n) = 36, A002808(n+1) = 38; 17 is the smallest k such that 38 - 36 = 2 = (36 mod k), hence a(24) = 17.
