A260720 a(n) = A091222(A260441(n)): number of irreducible factors (in ring GF(2)[X]) of the binary encoded polynomial obtained after the n-th iteration of A234742, when starting with the initial value 1361.

Comments

Records occur in positions 0, 1, 2, 4, 7, 54, 139, 174, 225, 398, 778, and they are 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 13, 16, 20, 21.

First 2's occur at positions 0, 3, 14, 15, 18, 21, 34, 65, 92, 135, 200, 255, 339, 362, 468, 511, 825, 1042, 1809.

Note that if this sequence ever obtains value 1, then the rest of terms are also 1's, as then A260441 has attained as its constant value one of the terms of A091214 (which is a subsequence of A235035, the fixed points of A234742).

Examples

			See example in A260441. This sequence gives the number of those irreducible factors, counted with multiplicity. For example, a(0) = 2 (for 61 * 61), a(1) = 4 (for 3 * 3 * 3 * 299). Note that irreducibility here refers to irreducibility in ring GF(2)[X], as for example 299 = 13*23 when factored to ordinary primes.
