a(n) = 2 if n is in A139710, otherwise a(n) = 1. - Robert Israel, Mar 15 2023
FORMULA
a(n) = denominator((A033676(n) + A033677(n))/2).
Except for p = 2 and k = 1, a(p^k) = 1, if p is a prime.
EXAMPLE
a(9) = 1 since the divisors of 9 are 1, 3, 9, and their median is 3.
a(12) = 2 since the divisors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, and their median is 7/2.
