Amiram Eldar, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000
FORMULA
Multiplicative with a(p^e) = e - (e mod p) + 1.
a(n) >= 1, with equality if and only if n is in A048103.
Asymptotic mean: Limit_{m->oo} (1/m) * Sum_{k=1..m} a(k) = Product_{p prime} (1 + p/(p^p-1)) = 1.86196549645040699446... .
MATHEMATICA
f[p_, e_] := (e - Mod[e, p] + 1); a[1] = 1; a[n_] := Times @@ f @@@ FactorInteger[n]; Array[a, 100]
PROG
(PARI) a(n) = {my(f = factor(n)); prod(i = 1, #f~, f[i, 2] - f[i, 2]%f[i, 1] + 1); }
