%F a(n) = 1 iff n = 1 or n is a prime number.

%F A106490(a(n)) = 1 + A106490(n) for any n > 1.

%F a^k(n) = 1 for k = A106490(n) (where a^k denotes the k-th iterate of a).

%e See Links section.

%o (PARI) a(n) = { if (n==1, 1, my (f=factor(n), w=#f~, p=f[w,1], e=f[w,2]); if (e==1, n/p, n*p^(a(e)-e))) }
