COMMENTS

a(n) tells how many columns off A003961(n) is from the column where n is in square array A083221 (Cf. A083140, the sieve of Eratosthenes. The column index of n in that table is given by A078898(n)).

FORMULA

a(n) = A249810(n) - A078898(n) = A078898(A003961(n)) - A078898(n).

a(k) = 0 when k is a prime or square of prime, among some other numbers.

EXAMPLE

For n = 8 = 2*2*2, A003961(8) = 27 (3*3*3), and while 8 is on row 1 and column 4 of A083221, 27 on the next row is in column 5, thus a(8) = 5 - 4 = 1.

For n = 10 = 2*5, A003961(10) = 21 (3*7), and while 10 is on row 1 and column 5 of A083221, 21 on the next row is in column 4, thus a(10) = 4 - 5 = -1.

PROG

(Scheme) (define (A249820 n) (if (= 1 n) 0 (- (A249810 n) (A078898 n))))
