%N Number of factorizations of n with integer reverse-alternating product.
%C A factorization of n is a weakly increasing sequence of positive integers > 1 with product n.
%C We define the alternating product of a sequence (y_1,...,y_k) to be Product_i y_i^((-1)^(i-1)). The reverse-alternating product is the alternating product of the reversed sequence.
