COMMENTS
Observe that the values giving stationary value in 6 steps are rather large.
"d" in the definition refers to the number of divisors of n. - Harvey P. Dale, Mar 06 2015

EXAMPLE
a(1)=5040 and the nested d functions are 60,12,6,4,3 and the 6th is 2. a(5)=10080 and iterating d with 10080 initial value, after 6 iterations the convergence takes place through 72,12,6,4,3 transients, i.e., 2 is reached on the 6th step.
