%F a(4*n) = a(27*n) = 0 and in general, a(m * p^p) = 0, for any m >= 1 and any prime p.

%e For n = 9, it itself is not a squarefree number, while its arithmetic derivative A003415(9) = 6 is, so it took just one iteration to find a squarefree number, thus a(9) = 1+1 = 2.

%e For n = 50, which is not squarefree, and its first derivative A003415(50) = 45 also is not squarefree, but taking derivative yet again, gives A003415(45) = 39 = 3*13, which is squarefree, thus a(50) = 2+1 = 3.
