EXAMPLE
For n=15 we have five alternative paths from 15 to 1: {15, 10, 5, 4, 2, 1}, {15, 10, 8, 4, 2, 1}, {15, 12, 8, 4, 2, 1}, {15, 12, 6, 4, 2, 1}, {15, 12, 6, 3, 2, 1}. These form a lattice illustrated below:

With edges going from 15 towards 1, the maximum indegree is 3, which occurs at node 4, therefore a(15) = 3.
