COMMENTS
a(n) is the number of ordered factorizations of n = r*s*t such that t is not equal to 1. For example: a(4)=3 because we have: 1*1*4, 1*2*2, and 2*1*2. Cf. A007425. - Geoffrey Critzer, Jan 01 2015
Number of pairs (d1, d2) of divisors of n such that d1<=d2, d1|n, d2|n, d1|d2 and d1 + d2 <= n. For example, a(8) has 6 divisor pairs (1,1), (1,2), (1,4), (2,2), (2,4) and (4,4). - Wesley Ivan Hurt, May 01 2021

FORMULA
Conjecture: a(n) = Sum_{i=1..floor(n/2)} d(i) * (floor(n/i) - floor((n-1)/i)), where d(n) is the number of divisors of n. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Dec 21 2017
a(n) = Sum_{d|n, d<n} A000005(d). - Antti Karttunen, Mar 08 2018, after Geoffrey Critzer's Mathematica-code.
G.f.: Sum_{k>=1} (d(k) - 1)*x^k/(1 - x^k), where d(k) = number of divisors of k (A000005). - Ilya Gutkovskiy, Sep 11 2018
