Write n as Product_{i=1..k} prime(i)^e_i, where prime(i) is the i-th prime number and e_i is a nonnegative integer. a(n) = Sum_{i=1..k} e_i*n^(i-1). a(n) is the derivative of n via transport of structure from polynomials. Completely multiplicative with a(2) = 1, a(prime(i+1)) = prime(i)^i for i > 0.
