%N a(n) is the least number of prime factors (counted with multiplicity) of any integer with n divisors.

%C n*a(n) is the number of complex multiplications needed for the fast Fourier transform of n numbers, writing n = r1 * r2 where r1 is a prime.

%C This sequence with offset 1,3 and a(1) = 0 is completely additive with a(p^e) = e*(p-1) for prime p and e >= 0. - _Werner Schulte_, Feb 23 2019

%F a(n) = Sum ( e_i * (p_i - 1) ) where n = Product ( p_i^e_i ) is the canonical factorization of n.

%F a(n) = min(A001222(x): A000005(x)=n).
