An ordered factorization of n is a 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)).
Also the number of ordered pairs of ordered factorizations of n, both of the same length.
Note that the version for all n (not just squares) is 0 except at perfect squares.

			The a(12) = 26 ordered factorizations:
  (2*2*6*6)      (3*2*4*6)      (6*2*2*6)  (4*2*3*6)  (12*12)
  (2*3*6*4)      (3*3*4*4)      (6*3*2*4)  (4*3*3*4)
  (2*4*6*3)      (3*4*4*3)      (6*4*2*3)  (4*4*3*3)

  (2*3*2*2*3*2)
  (2*3*3*2*2*2)
For example, the ordered factorization 6*3*2*4 = 144 has alternating product 6/3*2/4 = 1, so is counted under a(12).

A strict factorization of n is an increasing sequence of distinct 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)).
All such factorizations must have odd length.

			The a(720) = 30 factorizations:
  (2*4*90)     (3*4*60)   (4*5*36)   (5*6*24)  (6*8*15)   (8*9*10)  (720)
