%N a(n) = floor(frac(Pi*n)*n), where frac denotes the fractional part.

%C It seems that the sequence can be split into consecutive short monotonically increasing subsequences. For example, the first 2^20 terms can be split into 139188 subsequences of 7 terms and 9281 subsequences of 8 terms (see commented part of Mathematica program). The distance between two consecutive terms, a(k) and a(k+1), of the same increasing subsequence is about k/7.
