%F For D = A005117(n), we have a(n) = A317992(n) - 1 if D has a prime factor congruent to 3 modulo 4, A317992(n) otherwise. (See A391439 for a proof). Note that

%F - A317992(n) = omega(A005117(n)) - 1 if A005117(n) == 1 (mod 4);

%F - A317992(n) = omega(4*A005117(n)) - 1 = omega(A005117(n)) - 1 if A005117(n) == 2 (mod 4);

%F - A317992(n) = omega(4*A005117(n)) - 1 = omega(A005117(n)) if A005117(n) == 3 (mod 4).

%o (PARI) r(D) = my(w = omega(D) - 1); my(f = factor(D)[, 1]~); for(i=1, #f, if(f[i]%4==3, return(w-1))); return(w) \\ gives 2-rank of Cl(D) for fundamental D

%o for(D=1, 200, if(D>1 && issquarefree(D), print1(r(D*if(D%4==1, 1, 4)), ", ")))
