# Prime powers

Prime powers are prime numbers raised to powers. For example, 729 is a prime power, being 36. Technically, the primes themselves are prime powers, too, with exponent 1, but generally an exponent of 2 or greater is meant. (Along similar lines, the number 1 is technically a prime power as well, with the exponent being 0.)

## Number of factorizations of n into prime powers greater than 1

$a(n) = \prod_{i=1}^{\omega(n)} p(\alpha_i), \,$

where $\scriptstyle \omega(n) \,$ is the number of distinct prime factors of $\scriptstyle n \,$, $\scriptstyle p(n) \,$ is the number of partitions of $\scriptstyle n \,$ and the $\scriptstyle \alpha_i \,$ are the exponents of the distinct prime factors $\scriptstyle p_i \,$ of $\scriptstyle n \,$

$n = \prod_{i=1}^{\omega(n)} p_i^{\alpha_i} \,$
