COMMENTS
Numbers k such that fract((Pi-2)^k) > 1-(1/k), where fract(x) = x-floor(x).
The next such number must be greater than 200000.
a(14) > 300000. - Robert Price, Mar 26 2019
EXAMPLE
a(3) = 8, since fract((Pi-2)^8) = 0.8846247315... > 0.875 = 1 - (1/8), but fract((Pi-2)^k) = 0.2134..., 0.5268... <= 1 - (1/k) for 6 <= k <= 7.
