%F a(n) = 0 iff n=1 or n is prime: a(A008578(n)) = 0, a(A002808(n)) > 0.

%F a(n) = 1 iff n has 3 or 4 divisors (A323644) (see examples). - _Bernard Schott_, Dec 13 2021

%F a(n) = 2 if n = p^2*q, p<q primes (A096156) or n = p^4 (A030514) (see examples). - _Bernard Schott_, Dec 16 2021

%e n=12: (1,2,6), (1,3,4): therefore a(12)=2;

%e n=18: (1,2,9), (1,3,6), (2,3,3): therefore a(18)=3.

%e For n = p*q, p < q primes: n = 1 * p * q, so a(n) = 1.

%e For n = p^2, p prime: n = 1 * p * p, so a(n) = 1.

%e For n = p^3, p prime: n = 1 * p * p^2, so a(n) = 1.

%e For n = p*q^2, p < q < p^2: n = 1 * p * pq = 1* q * p^2, so a(n) = 2 (see n=12).

%e For n = p*q^2, p < p^2 < q: n = 1 * p * pq = 1 * p^2 * q, so a(n) = 2

%e For n = p^4, p prime: n = 1 * p * p^3 = 1 * p^2 * p^2, so a(n) = 2.
