COMMENTS

The median of a multiset is either the middle part (for odd length), or the average of the two middle parts (for even length). Since the denominator is always 1 or 2, the median can be represented as an integer by multiplying by 2.

A prime index of n is a number m such that prime(m) divides n. The multiset of prime indices of n is row n of A112798. Distinct prime indices are listed by A304038.

EXAMPLE

The prime indices of 65 are {3,6}, with distinct parts {3,6}, with median 9/2, so a(65) = 9.

The prime indices of 900 are {1,1,2,2,3,3}, with distinct parts {1,2,3}, with median 2, so a(900) = 4.
