FORMULA
a(n) >= 2 for n >= 2.
a(n) <= 2 if and only if n is in A375637.
a(A375638(n)) = n or -1.
a(p) = a(p-1) + 1 for a prime p.
a(n) = 1 + Sum_{k=2..n} [Sum_{p prime <= A007917(k)} A090971(v_p(n!), v_p(k!)) = primepi(k)], where v_p(n) is the p-adic valuation of n, primepi(k) = A000720(k), and [] is the Iverson bracket.
