%N a(n) is the maximum value of k such that A007504(k) <= prime(n).

%C Let A be A007504. The number of distinct values of k such that a(k)=r is the number of primes p in the interval A(r) <= p < A(r+1); namely: 2,2,2,3,3,4,5,4,6,6,... (see A323701). Let b(n) be the smallest r such that a(r)=n, namely: 1,3,5,7,10,13,17,22,26,... For given n, if k is the index of the smallest prime >= A(n), then b(n)=k. (The equality applies when n is a term of A013916.)

%e a(1)=1 since prime(1)=2 and 1 is max k such that A007504(k) <= 2.

%e a(5)=3 since prime(5)=11 and 3 is max k such that A007504(k) <= 11.

%e n=4 (in A013916). A(4)=17=prime(7), so b(4)=7.

%e n=7 (not in A013916). A(7)=58 < 59=prime(17), so b(7)=17.
