FORMULA

a(n) is smallest number such that Nest[A051953, A002110(n), a(n)]=0.

EXAMPLE

n=6, A002110(6)=30030; the corresponding iteration chain is: {30030,24270,17806,9238,4798,2400,1760,1120,736,384,256,128,64,32,16,8,4,2,1,0}. Its length is 20, so a(6)=20-1=19.

CROSSREFS

A002110, A051953.

Sequence in context: A146921 A153535 A116615 * A192589 A101978 A076273
