We study the arithmetic function sopfr$(n)$ (OEIS A001414) which gives the sum of prime factors (with repetition) of a number $n$. In particular we obtain the asymptotic formula $$ \sum_{n \leq x} \rm{sopfr}(n) \sim \frac{\pi^2}{12} \frac{x^2}{\log x},$$ which holds as well for the function sopf$(n)$ (OEIS A008472) that just gives the sum of distinct prime factors of $n$. This asymptotic formula was already stated by R. Jakimcyuk \cite{rj12} which was brought to our attention after the completion of the first version of this manuscript.
