A087891 Number of nonsquarefree terms in 3x+1 trajectory started at n. 2

%N Number of nonsquarefree terms in 3x+1 trajectory started at n.

%H Jonathan Frech, <a href="/A087891/b087891.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..100000</a>

%e n=61: trajectory = {61,184,92,46,23,70,35,...,20,10,5,16,8,4,2,1},

%e nonsquarefree terms = {184,92,160,80,40,20,16,8,4}, so a(61)=9.
