[seqfan] Re: Help needed in checking terms in A259349

[Frank Adams-watters]

See A001221. This meaning is well-established in the OEIS. At most, I would add a reference to that sequence.

 The English sentences are ambiguous.

"N has exactly 6 distinct prime factors"  according to you would permit
2^10*3*5*7*11*13, right?  But most people would say that 2^10*3*5*7*11*13
has 15 prime factors, and they are not all distinct.

Put it another way: how many prime factors does 8 have?  I say 3, and they
are not all distinct.

How many distinct prime factors does 8 have?  One answer is ONE, namely 2.
Another answer is ZERO, because 2 is a prime factor of 8 but it is not a
distinct prime factor.

So both sequences need comments explaining what the definitions really are,
and they need examples.
