%e Let s(n) = n(n+1)/2 = A000217(n). Then

%e a(1) = 4; s(4) = 10 = 6 + 3 + 1;

%e a(2) = 6; s(6) = 21 = 15 + 6;

%e a(3) = 7; s(7) = 28 = 21 + 6 + 1;

%e a(4) = 9; s(9) = 45 = 36 + 6 + 3.

%t z = 200; s = Table[n (n + 1)/2, {n, 1, z}]; t = Table[{s[[n]], #, Total[#] == s[[n]]} &[DeleteCases[-Differences[FoldList[If[#1 - #2 >= 0, #1 - #2, #1] &, s[[n]], Reverse[Select[s, # < s[[n]] &]]]], 0]], {n, z}]

%t r[n_] := s[[n]] - Total[t[[n]][[2]]];

%t tr = Table[r[n], {n, 2, z}] (* A242284 *)

%t c = Table[Length[t[[n]][[2]]], {n, 2, z}] (* A242285 *)

%t f = 1 + Flatten[Position[tr, 0]] (* A242286 *)
