%H Antti Karttunen, <a href="/A276332/b276332.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..4320</a>

%F a(0) = 0; for n >= 1, a(n) = 1 + a(n-A276330(n)) = 1 + a(A276331(n)).

%F Other identities and observations:

%F It seems that a(n) >= A276328(n) for all n.

%e For n=20, the largest term of A001563 that divides 20 is 4 and moreover, 4 is also the largest term of A001563 that divides 16, 12, 8 and 4, thus as 20 = 5*4, a(20) = 5.

%e For n=21, the largest term of A001563 that divides 21 is A001563(1) = 1, and case for 21 - 1 = 20 is shown above, thus a(21) = 1 + 5 = 6.

%o (Scheme, with memoization-macro definec)
