LINKS

Table of n, a(n) for n=1..105.

FORMULA

a(n)=A036459(A000142(n))=A036459(n!); a(n) is the smallest so that Nest[A000005, n, a(n)]=2

EXAMPLE

for n=108, a(108)=9 because the sequence of iterates is {108!,798687560466432000,7920,60,12,6,4,3,2}, length=9

CROSSREFS

A000005, A036459, A000142.

Sequence in context: A223170 A198817 A085428 * A010664 A074967 A021877
