A243055 Difference between the indices of the smallest and the largest prime dividing n: If n = p_i * ... * p_k, where p_i <= ... <= p_k, where p_h = A000040(h), then a(n) = (k-i), a(1) = 0 by convention. 67

%N Difference between the indices of the smallest and the largest prime dividing n: If n = p_i * ... * p_k, where p_i <= ... <= p_k, where p_h = A000040(h), then a(n) = (k-i), a(1) = 0 by convention.

%C For n>=1, A100484(n+1) gives the position where n occurs for the first time (setting also the records for the sequence).

%C a(n) = the difference between the largest and the smallest parts of the partition having Heinz number n. We define the Heinz number of a partition p = [p_1, p_2, ..., p_r] as Product(p_j-th prime, j=1...r) (concept used by _Alois P. Heinz_ in A215366 as an "encoding" of a partition). For example, for the partition [1, 1, 2, 4, 10] we get 2*2*3*7*29 = 2436. Example: a(57) = 6; indeed, the partition having Heinz number 57 = 3*19 is [2, 8]. - _Emeric Deutsch_, Jun 04 2015
