Examples

			a(64) = 5, as 64 = 2^6 = 2^(2^1*3^1) and there are 5 nodes in that superfactorization. Similarly, for 360 = 2^(3^1) * 3^(2^1) * 5^1 we get a(360) = 8. See comments at A106490.

Formula

From Antti Karttunen, Mar 23 2017: (Start)

a(1) = 1, and for n > 1, if A028234(n) = 1, a(n) = 1 + a(A067029(n)), otherwise a(n) = 1 + a(A067029(n)) + a(A028234(n)).

If n is a prime power p^k (a term of A000961), a(n) = 1 + a(k).

(End)

Other identities. For all n >= 1:

a(n) = A106490(n) + A064372(n).

a(n) = A106494(A106444(n)).
