When the exponents in the prime factorization of n are expanded as sums of distinct Fibonacci numbers using the dual Zeckendorf representation (A104326), we get a unique factorization of n in terms of distinct terms of A115975, i.e., n is represented as a product of prime powers (A246655) whose exponents are Fibonacci numbers. a(n) is the maximum exponent of these prime powers. Thus all the terms are Fibonacci numbers.

FORMULA
EXAMPLE
For n = 8 = 2^3, the dual Zeckendorf representation of 3 is 11, i.e., 3 = Fibonacci(2) + Fibonacci(3) = 1 + 2. Therefore 8 = 2^(1+2) = 2^1 * 2^2, and a(8) = 2.
