FORMULA
Multiplicative with a(p^e) = e if e is even, and 1 if e is odd.
a(n) >= 1, with equality if and only if n is an exponentially odd number (A268335).
Dirichlet g.f.: zeta(2*s)^2 * Product_{p prime} (1 + 1/p^s - 1/p^(3*s) + 1/p^(4*s)).
Asymptotic mean: Limit_{m->oo} (1/m) * Sum_{k=1..m} a(k) = zeta(2)^2 * Product_{p prime} (1 - 1/p^2 - 1/p^3 + 2/p^4 - 1/p^5) = 1.53318063378623623841... .
Dirichlet g.f.: zeta(s) * Product_{p prime} (1 + (p^(2*s) + 1)/(p^s*(p^s - 1)*(p^s + 1)^2)). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Feb 11 2024
