If drawing at random with replacement from the primes <= n as many as n has prime factors, 1/a(n) is the probability that the product of the prime numbers drawn is equal to n.

FORMULA
EXAMPLE
a(4) = 3 because 3 positive integers have Omega(4) = 2 prime factors <= 4: 4 = 2*2, 6 = 2*3, 9 = 3*3.
a(6) = 6 because 6 positive integers have Omega(6) = 2 prime factors <= 6: 4 = 2*2, 6 = 2*3, 9 = 3*3, 10 = 2*5, 15 = 3*5, 25 = 5*5.
a(7) = 4 because 4 positive integers have Omega(7) = 1 prime factor <= 7: 2, 3, 5, 7.
