A278028 Let {c(i)} = A007916 denote the sequence of numbers > 1 which are not perfect powers. Every positive integer n has a unique representation as a tower n = c(x_1)^c(x_2)^c(x_3)^...^c(x_k), where the exponents are nested from the right. The sequence is an irregular triangle read by rows, where the n-th row lists x_1, ..., x_k.

1, 2, 1, 1, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2, 2, 1, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 1, 1, 1, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 3, 1, 20, 2, 2, 21, 22, 23, 24, 1, 3, 25, 26, 27, 4, 1, 28, 29, 30, 31
