A365424
a(1) = 1, a(3^k) = 3 for k >= 1, and for any other n, a(n) is the last prime that is selected when the value of A356867(n) is computed with a greedy algorithm.

COMMENTS
Apparently the analogous sequence for Doudna variant D(2) (A005940) is 1 followed by A000040(A290251(n-1)) for n >= 2: 1, 2, 3, 2, 5, 3, 3, 2, 7, 5, 5, 3, 5, 3, 3, 2, 11, 7, 7, 5, 7, etc.

FORMULA
a(1) = 1, and for n > 1, if n is of the form 3^k, then a(n) = 3, otherwise a(n) = A356867(n) / A356867(A365459(n)).
