FORMULA

a(n)=Min{x; A087227[x]=n}, where A087227(n)=A001221[A087226(n)], furthermore A087226(n)=LCM[terms trajectory started at n].

EXAMPLE

n=57: a(57)=10 because 57 is the smallest number such that

LCM of terms in its (3x+1)-trajectory,has 10 different

prime-factors: A082226(57)=864203580240=16.3.5.7.11.13.17.19.37.43.

MATHEMATICA

c[x_] := (1-Mod[x, 2])*(x/2)+Mod[x, 2]*(3*x+1)c[1]=1; fpl[x_] := Delete[FixedPointList[c, x], -1] ef[x_] := Length[FactorInteger[Apply[LCM, fpl[x]]]] t=Table[0, {256}]; Do[s=ef[n]; If[s<257&&t[[s]]==0, t[[s]]=n], {n, 1, 1000}]; t
