Table of n, a(n) for n=1..71.

Example

For n = 11, we have:
       b  sum of digits  remainder
    ----  -------------  ---------
       2              3          2
       3              3          2
       4              5          1
       5              3          2
       6              6          5
       7              5          1
       8              4          3
       9              3          2
      10              2          1
      11              1          0
    >=12             11          0
so a(11) = 5.
