A060775 The greatest divisor d|n such that d < n/d, with a(1) = 1. 62

%I #44 Sep 30 2022 12:50:15

%S 1,1,1,1,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,3,1,2,3,2,1,3,1,4,3,2,1,4,1,2,3,4,1,5,1,4,3,2,

%T 5,4,1,2,3,5,1,6,1,4,5,2,1,6,1,5,3,4,1,6,5,7,3,2,1,6,1,2,7,4,5,6,1,4,

%U 3,7,1,8,1,2,5,4,7,6,1,8,3,2,1,7,5,2,3

%N The greatest divisor d|n such that d < n/d, with a(1) = 1.

%C Also: Largest divisor of n which is less than sqrt(n).

%C If n is not a square, then a(n) = A033676(n), else a(n) is strictly smaller than A033676(n) = sqrt(n) (except for a(1) = 1). - _M. F. Hasler_, Sep 20 2011

%C Record values occur for n = k * (k+1), for which a(n) = k. - _Franklin T. Adams-Watters_, May 01 2015

%C If we define a divisor d|n to be strictly inferior if d < n/d, then strictly inferior divisors are counted by A056924 and listed by A341674. This sequence gives the greatest strictly inferior divisor, which may differ from the lower central divisor A033676. Central divisors are listed by A207375. - _Gus Wiseman_, Feb 28 2021
