Consider the number 54.
54 can be factored in 7 distinct ways into one or more factors larger than 1:
54, 2
27, 3
18, 6
9, 3
3
6, 2
3
9 and 2
3
3
3.
If we require that the factors are all squarefree only two ways remain: 3
3
6 and 2
3
3
3.
Let's call Fsf(n) the number of ways n can be factored into one or more squarefree factors larger than 1, so Fsf(54)=2.
Let S(n) be
Fsf(k) for k=2 to n.
S(100)=193.
Find S(10 000 000 000).
