A304465 If n is prime, set a(n) = 1. Otherwise, start with the multiset of prime factors of n, and given a multiset take the multiset of its multiplicities. Repeating this until a multiset of size 1 is reached, set a(n) to the unique element of this multiset. 52

COMMENTS
a(1) = 0 by convention.
a(n) depends only on prime signature of n (cf. A025487). - Antti Karttunen, Nov 08 2018
LINKS
FORMULA
a(p^n) = n where p is any prime number.
a(product of n distinct primes) = n.
a(1) = 0; and for n > 1, if n = prime^k, a(n) = k, otherwise, if n is squarefree [i.e., A001221(n) = A001222(n)], a(n) = A001221(n), otherwise a(n) = a(A181819(n)). - Antti Karttunen, Nov 08 2018
EXAMPLE
Starting with the multiset of prime factors of 2520 we have {2,2,2,3,3,5,7} -> {1,1,2,3} -> {1,1,2} -> {1,2} -> {1,1} -> {2}, so a(2520) = 2.
