COMMENTS

a(n) for prime n equals 1, but a value of 1 does not imply primality (e.g., a(9) = 1 but 9 is the square of a prime).

a(n) can never exceed floor(n/2) for n > 1.

a(n) for even n greater than 2 can never equal 1.

EXAMPLE

For n = 6, we have a(n) = 3 as 2, 3, and 6 are greater than 1 and 1 = a(5)

MATHEMATICA

a[0] := 0; a[n_] := a[n] = Length[Select[Divisors[n], # > a[n - 1] &]]; Table[a[n], {n, 0, 99}] (* Alonso del Arte, Sep 24 2011 *)
