Let f,g:N−1→Nf,g:\mathbb{N}-{1}\rightarrow \mathbb{N}f,g:N−1→N be functions defined by f(a)=αf(a)=\alphaf(a)=α, where α\alphaα is the maximum of the powers of those primes ppp such that pα{p}^{\alpha }pα divides aaa, and g(a)=a+1g(a)=a+1g(a)=a+1, for all a∈N−1a\in \mathbb{N}-{1}a∈N−1. Then, the function f+gf+gf+g is
