%N Number of z-forests with least common multiple n > 1.

%C Given a finite set S of positive integers greater than 1, let G(S) be the simple labeled graph with vertex set S and edges between any two vertices that have a common divisor greater than 1. For example, G({6,14,15,35}) is a 4-cycle. A set S is said to be connected if G(S) is a connected graph. The clutter density of S is defined to be Sum_{s in S} (omega(s) - 1) - omega(LCM(S)), where omega = A001221 and LCM is least common multiple. A z-forest is a finite set of pairwise indivisible positive integers greater than 1 such that all connected components are z-trees, meaning they have clutter density -1.

%C This is a generalization to multiset systems of the usual definition of hyperforest (viz. hypergraph F such that two distinct hyperedges of F intersect in at most a common vertex and such that every cycle of F is contained in a hyperedge).

%C If n is squarefree with k prime factors, then a(n) = A134954(k).

%C Differs from A324837 at positions {1, 180, 210, ...}. For example, a(210) = 55, A324837(210) = 49.
