COMMENTS
Given a factorization f consisting of positive integers greater than one, let G(F) be a multigraph with one vertex for each factor and n edges between any two vertices with n common divisors greater than 1. For example, G(6,14,15,35) is a 4-cycle; G(6,12) is a 2-cycle because 6 and 12 have multiple common divisors. This sequence counts factorizations f such that G(f) is a forest, meaning it has no cycles. [Comment edited by Robert Munafo, Mar 24 2024]

EXAMPLE
The a(72) = 14 factorizations:
(72)
(2*36) (3*24) (4*18) (8*9)
(2*2*18) (2*3*12) (2*4*9) (3*3*8) (3*4*6)
(2*2*2*9) (2*2*3*6) (2*3*3*4)
(2*2*2*3*3)
not counted: (2*6*6) because 6 and 6 share multiple divisors; likewise (6*12) because 6 and 12 share multiple divisors.
