Seems to be slightly more than (but asymptotic to) number of nonprimes less than or equal to n.

FORMULA
|
a(n) = floor(log_n(n!)) for n > 1.
a(n) = log_n(A074182(n)) for n > 1.
(End)
n*(1-1/log(n)) + 1 > log(n!)/log(n) > n*(1-1/log(n)) for n >= 7.
Thus a(n) is either floor(n*(1-1/log(n))) or ceiling(n*(1-1/log(n))) for n >= 7 (and in fact this is the case for n >= 3).
(End)

EXAMPLE
|
a(7)=4 because 7!=5040, 7^4=2401 but 7^5=16807.
a(6)=3 since 6^3.67195...=720=6! and 6^3 <= 6! < 6^4, i.e., 216 <= 720 < 1296.
