FORMULA

For n>2, a(n) = (d + (m)/d)/2 - floor(sqrt(m)), where m=n!-1 and d is the smallest divisor of m such that d >=sqrt(m). [From Max Alekseyev (maxale(AT)gmail.com), Apr 13 2009]

PROG

(PARI) { a(n) = if(n==2, return(1)); m=n!-1; fordiv(m, d, if(d*d>=m, return((d+m\d)\2-sqrtint(m)))) } [From Max Alekseyev (maxale(AT)gmail.com), Apr 13 2009]

(PARI) a(n) = { if(n==2, return(1)); m=n!-1; fordiv(m, d, if(d*d>=m, return((d+m\d)\2-sqrtint(m)))); } { for(n=2, 59, write("b093082.txt", n, " ", a(n)); ); } [From Harry J. Smith (hjsmithh(AT)sbcglobal.net), Jun 20 2009]
