Table of n, a(n) for n=1..91.

Example

a(50)=ceiling(50/a(25))
..... a(25)=ceiling(25/a(13))
........... a(13)=ceiling(13/a(7))
................. a(7)=ceiling(7/a(4))
...................... a(4)=ceiling(4/a(2))
........................... a(2)=ceiling(2/a(1))
................................ a(1)=1
........................... a(2)=ceiling(2/a(1))=ceiling(2/1)=2
...................... a(4)=ceiling(4/a(2))=ceiling(4/2)=2
................. a(7)=ceiling(7/a(4))=ceiling(7/2)=4
........... a(13)=ceiling(13/a(7))=ceiling(13/4)=4
..... a(25)=ceiling(25/a(13))=ceiling(25/4)=7
a(50)=ceiling(50/a(25))=ceiling(50/7)=8.

Mathematica

a[1] = 1; a[n_] := a[n] = Ceiling[ n / a[Ceiling[ n/2]]]; Table[ a[n], {n, 91}] (* Robert G. Wilson v, Jul 21 2004 *)
