MacMahon calls this the potency of n.
Downgrades the operators in a prime decomposition. E.g., 40 factors as 2^3 * 5 and sopfr(40) = 2 * 3 + 5 = 11.
Consider all ways of writing n as a product of zero, one, or more factors; sequence gives smallest sum of terms. - Amarnath Murthy, Jul 07 2001
a(n) <= n for all n, and a(n) = n iff n is 4 or a prime.
Look at the graph of this sequence. At the lower edge of the logarithmic scatterplot there is a set of fuzzy but unmistakable diagonal fringes, sloping toward the southeast. Their spacing gradually increases, and their slopes gradually decrease; they are more distinct toward the lower edge of the range. Is any explanation known? - Allan C. Wechsler, Oct 11 2015
For n >= 2, the glb and lub are: 3 * log(n) / log(3) <= a(n) <= n, where the lub occurs when n = 3^k, k >= 1. (Jakimczuk 2012) - Daniel Forgues, Oct 12 2015
Except for the initial term, row sums of A027746. - M. F. Hasler, Feb 08 2016

The number of terms which equal k is A000607(k).
The first occurrence of k>1 is A056240(k).
The last occurrence of k>1 is A000792(k).
The Amarnath Murthy comment of Jul 07 2001 is a result of the fundamental theorem of arithmetic.

Completely additive with a(p^e) = e * A002110(A000720(p)-1).
This is a left inverse of A276086 ("primorial base exp-function"), hence the name "primorial base log-function". When the domain is restricted to the terms of A048103, this works also as a right inverse, as A276086(a(A048103(n))) = A048103(n) for all n >= 1. - Antti Karttunen, Apr 24 2022

When applied to sequences where a certain subset of the divisors of n has been multiplicatively encoded with the help of A276086, this yields a corresponding number-theoretical sequence, i.e. completes their computation:
a(A319708(n)) = A001065(n) and a(A353564(n)) = A051953(n).

In the following group, the sum of the rhs-sequences is n [on each row, as say, A328841(n)+A328842(n)=n], because the pointwise product of the corresponding lhs-sequences is A276086:
a(A053669(n)) = A053589(n) and a(A324895(n)) = A276151(n).
a(A328571(n)) = A328841(n) and a(A328572(n)) = A328842(n).
a(A351231(n)) = A351233(n) and a(A327858(n)) = A351234(n).
a(A351251(n)) = A351253(n) and a(A324198(n)) = A351254(n).
The sum or difference of the rhs-sequences is A108951:
a(A344592(n)) = A346092(n) and a(A346091(n)) = A346093(n).
a(A346106(n)) = A346108(n) and a(A346107(n)) = A346109(n).
Here the two sequences are inverse permutations of each other:
a(A328624(n)) = A328625(n) and a(A328627(n)) = A328626(n).
a(A346102(n)) = A328622(n) and a(A346233(n)) = A328623(n).
a(A346101(n)) = A289234(n). [Self-inverse]
