From David W. Wilson, Feb 28 2009: (Start)
By a factorization of n we mean a multiset of integers > 1 whose product is n.
For example, 6 is the product of 2 such multisets, {2, 3} and {6}, so a(6) = 2.
Similarly 8 is the product of 3 such multisets, {2, 2, 2}, {2, 4} and {8}, so a(8) = 3.
1 is the product of 1 such multiset, namely the empty multiset {}, whose product is by definition the multiplicative identity 1. Hence a(1) = 1. (End)
a(n) = # { k | A064553(k) = n }. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Sep 21 2001; Benoit Cloitre and N. J. A. Sloane, May 15 2002
Number of members of A025487 with n divisors. - Matthew Vandermast, Jul 12 2004
See sequence A162247 for a list of the factorizations of n and a program for generating the factorizations for any n. - T. D. Noe, Jun 28 2009
So a(n) gives the number of different prime signatures that can be found among the integers that have n divisors. - Michel Marcus, Nov 11 2015
For n > 0, also the number of integer partitions of n with product n, ranked by A301987. For example, the a(12) = 4 partitions are: (12), (6,2,1,1,1,1), (4,3,1,1,1,1,1), (3,2,2,1,1,1,1,1). See also A380218. In general, A379666(m,n) = a(n) for any m >= n. - Gus Wiseman, Feb 07 2025

Examples

			1: 1, a(1) = 1
2: 2, a(2) = 1
3: 3, a(3) = 1
4: 4 = 2*2, a(4) = 2
6: 6 = 2*3, a(6) = 2
8: 8 = 2*4 = 2*2*2, a(8) = 3
etc.

Formula

The asymptotic behavior of this sequence was studied by Canfield, Erdős & Pomerance and Luca, Mukhopadhyay, & Srinivas. - Jonathan Vos Post, Jul 07 2008
Dirichlet g.f.: Product_{k>=2} 1/(1 - 1/k^s).
If n = p^k for a prime p, a(n) = partitions(k) = A000041(k).
Since the sequence a(n) is the right diagonal of A066032, the given recursive formula for A066032 applies (see Maple program). - Reinhard Zumkeller and Ulrich Schimke (ulrschimke(AT)aol.com)
a(A002110(n)) = A000110(n).
a(p^k*q^k) = A002774(k) if p and q are distinct primes. - R. J. Mathar, Jun 06 2024
a(n) = A028422(n) + 1. - Gus Wiseman, Feb 07 2025
