%N Number of irreducible factors of Gauss polynomials.

%C T(n,k) is the number of irreducible factors of the (separable) polynomial [n]!/([k]![n-k]!). Here [n]! denotes the product of the first n quantum integers, the n-th quantum integer being defined as (1-q^n)/(1-q).

%C T(n,k) gives the number of positive integers m <= n such that (n mod m) < (k mod m). - _Tom Edgar_, Aug 21 2014

%F T(n, k) = T(n-1, k-1) + d(n) - d(k), where d(n) is the number of divisors of n.

%e T(8,3) equals the number of irreducible factors of (1-q^8)(1-q^7)(1-q^6)/((1-q^3)(1-q^2)(1-q)), which is a product of 5 cyclotomic polynomials in q, namely the 2nd, 4th, 6th, 7th and 8th. Thus T(8,3)=5.
