Formula

a(n) = A027423(n)-A027423(n-1) = A000005(A000142(n))-A000005(A000142(n-1)) i.e., number of divisors of n! which are not divisors of (n-1)! [for n>1]. - Henry Bottomley, Oct 22 2001

Erdős, Graham, Ivić, & Pomerance show that the average order of log a(n) is c log n/(log log n)^2 with c around 0.6289. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Jul 21 2015

Mathematica

a[n_] := DivisorSigma[0, n!] - DivisorSigma[0, (n-1)!]; a[1] = 1;
