COMMENTS
A prime index of n is a number m such that prime(m) divides n. The multiset of prime indices of n is row n of A112798.
FORMULA
Totally additive with a(prime(k)) = A008966(k).
EXAMPLE
The prime indices of 39 are {2,6}, so a(39) = 2.
The prime indices of 70 are {1,3,4}, so a(70) = 2.
The prime indices of 98 are {1,4,4}, so a(98) = 1.
The prime indices of 294 are {1,2,4,4}, a(294) = 2.
The prime indices of 1911 are {2,4,4,6}, so a(1911) = 2.
The prime indices of 2548 are {1,1,4,4,6}, so a(2548) = 3.
