[seqfan] Re: A combinatorial problem

[Alois Heinz]

By "arrangements" you probably mean "permutations", see also
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Arrangement.html

I computed different values of A179926(n) for the following n:
12, 18, 20, 28, 30, 36, 42, 44, 45

First example: A179926(12)=3:
 [12, 6, 3, 1, 2, 4]
 [12, 4, 2, 6, 3, 1]
 [12, 4, 2, 1, 3, 6]
Last example: A179926(45)=3:
 [45, 15, 5, 1, 3, 9]
 [45, 9, 3, 15, 5, 1]
 [45, 9, 3, 1, 5, 15]

seq (A179926(n), n=1..120);
 0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 2, 2,
 1, 1, 3, 1, 3, 2, 2, 1, 4, 1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 18,
 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 8, 1, 2, 2, 4, 1, 18, 1, 3, 3,
 2, 1, 5, 1, 3, 2, 3, 1, 4, 2, 4, 2, 2, 1, 106,
 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 18, 1, 3, 2, 18, 1, 17, 1, 2,
 3, 3, 2, 18, 1, 5, 1, 2, 1, 106, 2, 2, 2, 4,
 1, 106, 2, 3, 2, 2, 2, 6, 1, 3, 3, 8, 1, 18,
 1, 4, 18, 2, 1, 17, 1, 18, 2, 5, 1, 18, 2, 3,
 3, 2, 2, 572
