Comments

Preprimes of k-th kind are defined in comment in A247395.

Examples

			If n = 15, then, by the formula, we have a(15) = 2 - 2 + 1 = 1.

Formula

If n is a composite number, then a(n) = pi(sqrt(n)) - pi(lpf(n)) + 1, where pi(x) is prime counting function (cf. A000720), lpf = least prime factor (A020639).
