If we group the exponents e in the Bower-Harris formula into the sets with d_k=0, 1, 2 and 3, we see that every n has a unique representation of the form n=prod q_i *prod (r_j)^2 *prod (s_k)^3, where each of q_i, r_j, s_k is a prime power of the form p^(k^4), p prime, k>=0. Using this representation, a(n)=prod (q_i+1)prod ((r_j)^2+r_j+1)prod ((s_k)^3+(s_k)^2+s_k+1) by simple expansion of the quotient on the right hand side of the Bower-Harris formula. - Vladimir Shevelev, May 08 2013

FORMULA
Multiplicative. If e = sum_{k >= 0} d_k 4^k (base 4 representation), then a(p^e) = prod_{k >= 0} (p^(4^k*{d_k+1}) - 1)/(p^(4^k) - 1). - Christian G. Bower and Mitch Harris, May 20 2005
EXAMPLE
2^4*3 is a 4-infinitary-divisor of 2^5*3^2 because 2^4*3 = 2^10*3^1 and 2^5*3^2 = 2^11*3^2 in 4-ary expanded power. All corresponding digits satisfy the condition. 1<=1, 0<=1, 1<=2.

PROG
(Haskell) following Bower and Harris, cf. A049418:
a074847 1 = 1
a074847 n = product $ zipWith f (a027748_row n) (a124010_row n) where
f p e = product $ zipWith div
(map (subtract 1 . (p ^)) $
zipWith (*) a000302_list $ map (+ 1) $ a030386_row e)
(map (subtract 1 . (p ^)) a000302_list)
