%N a(n) is the index of the first occurrence of n in A331284.

%C Also positions of records in A331284.

%C a(n) is the least k such that in range 1 .. k of A329605 (equally: in A329606[1..k]) there can be found exactly n occurrences of some term. In A329605 these "champion terms" are A329605(a(n)): 1, 4, 16, 24, 48, 192, 96, 192, 384, 288, 288, 576, 576, 576, 1152, 2304, 4608, 9216, 576, 2304, ..., that appear all to be 3-smooth numbers (in A003586).

%C For example, a(5)=180 and 48 is the first term in A329605 to occur for five times, as A329605(22) = A329605(42) = A329605(75) = A329605(112) = A329605(180) = 48.

%F A331284(a(n)) = n for all n >= 1.

%Y Cf. A331284 (a left inverse).
