a(n) < (n+1)/2 for n > 1 by the AM-GM (arithmetic-geometric mean) inequality.
Also, largest integer m such that m^n <= n!. - M. F. Hasler, Mar 07 2009

FORMULA
a(n) = floor((n!)^(1/n)); (n!)^(1/n) ~ e^(-1) (n+log(2 Pi n)/2) + O(log(n)^2/n) as n -> infinity.
EXAMPLE
a(7) = floor((7!)^(1/7)) = floor(5040^(1/7)) = floor(3.380015...) = 3.
