%F a(n) <= n with equality iff n = 0 or n belongs to A325112.

%F a(3^k) = 1 for any k >= 0.

%e For n = 193:

%e - 193 gives 1 followed by 93/3 = 131,

%e - 131 gives 1 followed by 3/3 followed by 1 = 111,

%e - 111 gives 111/3 = 37,

%e - 37 gives 3/3 followed by 7 = 17,

%e - neither 1, 7 nor 17 are divisible by 3, so a(193) = 17.
