%C Starts the same as, but is different from A001055. First values of n such that a(n) differs from A001055(n) are 32, 48, 64, 72, 80, ... .

%C The value of a is the same for all numbers n with the same prime signature. For prime p we have a(p^n) = A001400(n), the number of partitions of n into at most 4 parts. - _Alois P. Heinz_, Nov 03 2012

%e a(12) = 4 because we can write 12 = 1*1*1*12 = 1*1*2*6 = 1*1*3*4 = 1*2*2*3.
