Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N Number of nonunitary prime divisors of the central binomial coefficient C(n, floor(n/2)) (A001405).
%C Number of prime divisors of the largest square dividing A001405(n). (A prime divisor is nonunitary iff its exponent exceeds 1.)

%F a(n) = A001221(A000188(A001405(n))).
%F a(n) = A001221(A056057(n)).
%e For n=10, binomial(10, 5) = 252 = 2*2*3*3*7 has 3 prime divisors of which only one, p=7, is unitary, while 2 and 3 are not. So a(10)=2.
%e For n=256, binomial(256, 128) also has only 2 prime divisors (3 and 13) whose exponents exceed 1 (4 and 2, respectively), thus a(256)=2.
