Idea

Let \(\text{p}_i\) be the \(i^\text{th}\) prime, where the positive integer \(i\) is called the index of the prime \(\text{p}_i\) and the indices are taken in such a way that \(\text{p}_1 = 2.\) Thus the sequence of primes begins as follows:

\(\begin{matrix} \text{p}_1 = 2, & \text{p}_2 = 3, & \text{p}_3 = 5, & \text{p}_4 = 7, & \text{p}_5 = 11, & \text{p}_6 = 13, & \text{p}_7 = 17, & \text{p}_8 = 19, & \ldots \end{matrix}\)

The prime factorization of a positive integer \(n\) can be written in the following form:

\(n ~=~ \prod_{k = 1}^{\ell} \text{p}_{i(k)}^{j(k)},\)

where \(\text{p}_{i(k)}^{j(k)}\) is the \(k^\text{th}\) prime power in the factorization and \(\ell\) is the number of distinct prime factors dividing \(n.\)

Let \(I(n)\) be the set of indices of primes that divide \(n\) and let \(j(i, n)\) be the number of times that \(\text{p}_i\) divides \(n.\) Then the prime factorization of \(n\) can be written in the following alternative form:

\(n ~=~ \prod_{i \in I(n)} \text{p}_{i}^{j(i, n)}.\)

For example:

\(\begin{matrix} 9876543210 & = & 2 \cdot 3^2 \cdot 5 \cdot {17}^2 \cdot 379721 & = & \text{p}_1^1 \text{p}_2^2 \text{p}_7^2 \text{p}_{32277}^1 \end{matrix}\)
