Formula

Luca shows that a(n) >> log n. In particular, a(n) > log_10 n - log_10 log_10 n. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Dec 27 2011

a(n) < floor(log_10(n)*9/2). - Carmine Suriano, Feb 20 2013

a(n) = A007953(A000142(n)). - Michel Marcus, Sep 18 2014

a(n) < 9*(A034886(n) - A027868(n)). - Enrique Pérez Herrero, Nov 16 2014

Sanna improved Luca's result to a(n) >> log n log log log n. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Jan 30 2015

a(n) = 9*A202708(n), n>=6. - R. J. Mathar, Jul 30 2021

Example

a(5) = 3 because 5! = 120 and 1 + 2 + 0 = 3.
a(6) = 9 because 6! = 720 and 7 + 2 + 0 = 9.
