We define the alternating product of a sequence (y_1,...,y_k) to be Product_i y_i^((-1)^(i-1)).

A factorization of n is a weakly increasing sequence of positive integers > 1 with product n.

We define the alternating product of a sequence (y_1,...,y_k) to be Product_i y_i^((-1)^(i-1)).
A factorization of n is a weakly increasing sequence of positive integers > 1 with product n.
Note that it is sufficient to look at only length-1 and length-3 factorizations; cf. A347709.

			Representative factorizations for each of the a(180) = 7 alternating products:
  (2*2*3*3*5) -> 5
     (2*2*45) -> 45
     (2*3*30) -> 20
     (2*5*18) -> 36/5
     (2*9*10) -> 20/9
     (3*4*15) -> 45/4
        (180) -> 180
