COMMENTS

The highest power of k dividing n! (A090622) is close to, but below, n/a(k).

FORMULA

a(p)=p-1. a(p^m)=(p-1)*m. a(b*c)=max(a(b), a(c)) for b and c coprime.

EXAMPLE

72=2^3*3^2 so a(72)=max((2-1)*3,(3-1)*2)=max(3,4)=4.

MATHEMATICA

a[n_] := Module[{aux = FactorInteger[n]}, Max[Table[aux[[i, 2]]*(aux[[i, 1]] - 1), {i, 1, Length[aux]}]]] (* by J.M. Grau Ribas *) [From J.M. Grau Ribas (grau.ribas(AT)uniovi.es), Feb 15 2010]
