Row length of irregular triangle A343239.
FORMULA
a(n) = row length of A343239(n), for n >= 1.
a(1) = a(2) = a(4) = a(8) = 1, and otherwise a(n) = 2^{number of distinct primes from A139513}, that is, primes congruent to {1, 3, 7, 9} (mod 20), appearing in the prime factorization of A343238(n).
EXAMPLE
a(19) = 4 because A343238(19) = 42 = 2*3*7 has 2^(1+1) = 4 solutions from the primes 3 and 7.
