%N If A262686(n) = 0, a(n) = 0, otherwise a(n) = 1 + a(A262686(n)), where A262686(n) = largest number k such that k - d(k) = n, or 0 if no such number exists, and d(n) = the number of divisors of n (A000005).
%C a(n) = number of iterations of A262686 needed before zero is reached. In the context of tree (A263267) defined by edge-relation A049820(child) = parent, this is the number of hops we make before reaching one of the leaves (A045765), when we start from n and always select the largest child at each iteration.
