COMMENT

Sometimes mistakenly called proper divisors (see A032741)

a(n) = number of ordered factorizations of n into two factors, n = 2,3,... If n has the prime factorization n=Product p^e(j), j=1..r, the number of compositions of the vector (e(1), ..., e(r)) equals the number of ordered factorizations of n. Andrews (1998, page 59) gives a formula for the number of m-compositions of (e(1), ..., e(r)) which equals the number f(n,m) of ordered m-factorizations of n. But with m=2 the formula reduces to f(n,2)=d(n)-2=a(n). - A. O. Munagi (amunagi(AT)yahoo.com), Mar 31 2005

FORMULA

a(n)=A000005(n)-2, n>=2 (with the divisor function d(n)=A000005(n)).

a(n) = d(n)-2, where d(n) is the divisor function. E.g. a(12)=4 because 12 has 4 ordered factorizations into two factors: 2*6, 6*2, 3*4, 4*3. - A. O. Munagi (amunagi(AT)yahoo.com), Mar 31 2005

EXAMPLE

a(12)=4 with the nontrivial divisors 2,3,4,6.
