%N a(n) is the index, in the A256440 triangle, of the first row where n is the n-th term of the row.

%C The integers for which a(n)=n are 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, ... : A004394.

%C The integers for which a(n)=n-1 are 3, 8, 18, 30, 72, ...: A247022 (except 3).

%e Triangle A256440 starts:

%e 1;

%e 1, 2;

%e 1, 3, 2;

%e 1, 3, 2, 4;

%e 1, 5, 3, 2, 4;

%e 1, 5, 3, 2, 4, 6;

%e 1, 7, 5, 3, 2, 4, 6;

%e ...

%e a(1)=1 because row 1 is the first row where 1 is the 1st term of the row.

%e a(2)=2 because row 2 is the first row where 2 is the 2nd term of the row.

%e a(3)=5 because row 5 is the first row where 3 is the 3rd term of the row.

%o (PARI) posf(n) = {i = n; stop = 0; while (! stop, v = vector(i, k, sigma(k)/k); w = vecsort(v, , 1); pos = posv(n, w); if (pos == n, stop=1, i++);); i;}
