FORMULA
If A284252(n) = 1, a(n) = 0, otherwise a(n) = 1 + a(A284253(n)).
a(n) = A001222(A284254(n)).
a(n) = A001222(n) - A284257(n).
EXAMPLE
For n = 10 = 2*5, there is a single prime factor 5 that is > 2^2, thus a(10) = 1.
For n = 15 = 3*5, there are no prime factors larger than 3^2, thus a(15) = 0.
For n = 50 = 2*5*5, the prime factors larger than 2^2 are 5*5, thus a(50) = 2.
