COMMENTS
Erdős proved that there exist two constants c1, c2 > 0 such that c1 (n / log(n))^(1/2) < a(n) < c2 (n / log(n))^(1/2). - Carlo Sanna, May 28 2019
R. Heyman and R. Miraj proved that the cardinality of the set { floor(n/p) : p <= n, p prime } is same as the number of distinct exponents in the prime factorization of n!. - Md Rahil Miraj, Apr 05 2024

FORMULA
a(n) = A071625(n!) = A323023(n!,3). - Gus Wiseman, May 15 2019
EXAMPLE
n=7: 7! = 5040 = 2*2*2*2*3*3*5*7; three different exponents arise: 4, 2 and 1; a(7)=3.
n=7: { floor(7/p) : p <= 7, p prime } = {3,2,1}. So, its cardinality is 3. - Md Rahil Miraj, Apr 05 2024
