Euler's gradus suavitatis,[1] which is probably the first complexity measure historically. It is somewhat similar to the Wilson norm, in that it depends on the prime factorization.

Definition

Given s, the sum of prime factors, and n the number of prime factors, Euler's gradus function is s - n + 1. For example [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Gradus}\left(\tfrac{15}{8}\right) = 14 - 5 + 1 = 10 }[/math].
