EXAMPLE

a(4) = d(4!) = d(3!*4) = d(3!)*4 + 3!*d(4) =

= d(2!*3)*4 + 3!*d(2*2) = d(2*3)*4 + 6*d(2*2) =

= (d(2)*3 + 2*d(3))*4 + 6*(d(2)*2 + 2*(d(2)) =

= (1*3+2*1)*4 + 6*(2*2*1) = 5*4 + 6*4 = 44;

where d(n) = A003415(n) with d(1)=0, d(prime)=1 and d(m*n)=d(m)*n+m*d(n).

a(6)=2064 because arithmetic derivative of 6!=720 is 720(4/2+2/3+1/5).
