%N A117370 Number of primes between smallest prime divisor of n and largest prime
divisor of n.
%C A117370 This sequence first differs from sequence A117371 at the 30th term.
%C A117370 Records in a(n) are for n = 2*prime(k), for which a(n) = k-2. Examples:
a(14) = a(2*prime(4)) = 4-2 = 2; a(22) = a(2*prime(5)) = 5-2 = 3;
a(26) = a(2*prime(6)) = 6-2 = 4; a(74) = a(2*prime(12)) = 12-2= 10.
Those records are each repeated for n = 2*(prime(k)^e_1)*(prime(m)^e_2)*(prime(n)^e_3)...*(prime(x)^e_y)
where e_i are positive integers and prime(m), ..., prime(x) are between
2 and prime(k). Minima a(n) = 0 iff least spf(n)=gpf(n) iff n is
1 or a prime power (A000961), or a product of powers of consecutive
primes (prime(k)^e_1)*(prime(k+1)^e_2). Here gpf(n) = greatest prime
factor = A006530(n) and spf(n) = smallest prime factor = A020639(n).
