A285320 If n == 0 or A008683(n) == 0, then a(n) = 0, otherwise a(n) = 1+a(A048675(n)); number of iterations of A048675 needed before the result is either zero or nonsquarefree number (A013929).

%C A285320 Conjecture: all terms are well-defined (finite). This implies also the conjecture I have made in A019565.
%F A285320 If n == 0 or A008683(n) == 0, then a(n) = 0, otherwise a(n) = 1+a(A048675(n)).
%F A285320 a(A109162(n)) = n.
%e A285320 a(38) = 3 because 38 = 2*19 (thus squarefree), A048675(38) = 129 (= 3*43), A048675(129) = 8194 (= 2*17*241) and A048675(8194) = 4503599627370561 (= 3^2 * 37 * 71 * 190483425427), so three steps were needed before nonsquarefree number was reached.
%e A285320 a(74) >= 3 as A048675(74) = 2049 (squarefree), A048675(2049) =  10633823966279326983230456482242756610 (squarefree), A048675(10633823966279326983230456482242756610) = ???
