See the Comments. %C A345730 This sequence is a variation of A342585. Instead of iteratively counting the occurrences of each number starting from 0 and then repeating when 0 is recorded, we record the number of previous terms with a given number of divisors, where the number of divisors starts at 0 and increments by one until 0 is recorded, after which the divisor count restarts at 0. It is assumed 0 has zero divisors while the number of divisors for all other numbers is given by A000005. See the Examples below. %C A345730 After 10 million terms, numbers with four, eight and two divisors are the most common, and in general terms with an even number of divisors are more common than those with an odd number. However like A342585 the graph of the sequence shows that the number of terms with a given number of divisors increases somewhat haphazardly and thus it is unclear if terms with four divisors stay the most numerous as n -> infinity. %C A345730 Alternative definition: Record the number of existing terms which are divisible by any m > 0, then record the number of terms having 1 divisor, then 2, 3 and so on until a zero is recorded. Repeat the process indefinitely. - _David James Sycamore_, Sep 25 2021 %H A345730 Scott R. Shannon, <a href="/A345730/a345730.png">Colored image of the first 1000 terms</a>. In this and other colored images the colors are graduated across the spectrum to show which line corresponds to the divisor count it indicates. See the colored key at the top-left. Up to 1000 terms the most common divisor count is 2 followed by 4. %H A345730 Scott R. Shannon, <a href="/A345730/a345730_1.png">Colored image of the first 10000 terms</a>.

After the initial 0, a(1) counts the terms with 0 divisors (i.e., the 0's), which is 1. a(2) then counts the terms with one divisor (i.e., the 1's), which is 1, and a(3) counts the terms with two divisors (i.e., the primes), which is 0. So the divisor count then resets to 0 and a(4) counts the terms with 0 divisors, which is 2. a(5) counts the terms with one divisor, which is 2, and a(6) counts the terms with two divisors, which is 2. There are no terms with three divisors so a(7) = 0 and the divisor count then resets to 0. %Y A345730 Cf. A342585, A000005. %K A345730 nonn %O A345730 0,5 %A A345730 _Scott R. Shannon_, Jun 25 2021
