A061395 Let p be the largest prime factor of n; if p is the k-th prime then set a(n) = k; a(1) = 0 by convention.

For n > 1: length of n-th row in A067255. - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jun 11 2013

a(n) = the largest part of the partition having Heinz number n. We define the Heinz number of a partition p = [p_1, p_2, ..., p_r] as Product(p_j-th prime, j=1...r) (concept used by Alois P. Heinz in A215366 as an "encoding" of a partition). For example, for the partition [1, 1, 2, 4, 10] we get 2*2*3*7*29 = 2436. Example: a(20) = 3; indeed, the partition having Heinz number 20 = 2*2*5 is [1,1,3]. - Emeric Deutsch, Jun 04 2015

Formula

A000040(a(n)) = A006530(n); a(n) = A049084(A006530(n)). - Reinhard Zumkeller, May 22 2003

A243055(n) = a(n) - A055396(n). - Antti Karttunen, Mar 07 2017

a(n) = A000720(A006530(n)). - Alois P. Heinz, Mar 05 2020

Example

a(20) = 3 since the largest prime factor of 20 is 5, which is the 3rd prime.
