COMMENT

A prime factor of Fibonacci(n) is called primitive if it does not divide Fibonacci(r) for any r < n. It can be shown that there is at least one primitive prime factor for n > 12. When n is prime, all the prime factors of Fibonacci(n) are primitive; see A080345 for a count of these.

FORMULA

a(n) = Sum{d|n} mu(n/d) A022307(d), inverse Mobius transform of A022307.

EXAMPLE

a(19) = 2 because Fibonacci(19) = 37*113 and neither 37 nor 113 divide a smaller Fibonacci number.

MATHEMATICA

pLst={}; Join[{0, 0}, Table[f=Transpose[FactorInteger[Fibonacci[n]]][[1]]; f=Complement[f, pLst]; cnt=Length[f]; pLst=Union[pLst, f]; cnt, {n, 3, 150}]]

CROSSREFS
