COMMENTS
This is similar to A038549, which counts divisors of n <= sqrt(n). Note that an upper bound on a(n) is 3*2^(n-1), which is attained at n = 2, 3, 4, 5, 11, 23, and 29 -- the number 4 and the primes in A005384 (Sophie Germain primes, p and 2p+1 are prime).
A056924(a(n)) = n and A056924(m) <> n for m < a(n). - Reinhard Zumkeller, Jul 12 2013
EXAMPLE
The divisors of 60 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, and 60. Only 6 of these are < sqrt(60). And 60 is the first such number.
MATHEMATICA
nn = 22; t = Table[0, {nn}]; found = 0; n = 0; While[found < nn, n++; c = Length[Select[Divisors[n], # < Sqrt[n] &]]; If[c > 0 && c <= nn && t[[c]] == 0, t[[c]] = n; found++]]; t
