In other words, one half the number of coreful complementary divisor pairs (d, k/d), d|k, that do not divide one another, for k in A376936, the sequence of numbers k that have at least 1 such pair.
Divisors d and k/d are both composite, further, are neither squarefree nor prime powers, hence in A126706.

EXAMPLE
Let b(n) = A376936(n) and define property Q pertaining to (d, k/d), d|k, to be rad(d) = rad(k/d) = rad(k) but neither d | k/d nor k/d | d. Examples below show only (d, k/d) that have property Q:
a(1) = 1 since b(1) = 216 = 12*18.
a(2) = 1 since b(2) = 432 = 18*24.
a(3) = 1 since b(3) = 648 = 12*54.
a(4) = 2 since b(4) = 864 = 18*48 = 24*36.
a(14) = 3 since b(14) = 3456 = 18*192 = 36*96 = 48*72.
a(22) = 4 since b(22) = 7776 = 24*324 = 48*162 = 54*144 = 72*108, etc.
