FORMULA
a(n) = A377423(n) + 1.
EXAMPLE
A377472(n) = 2 = a(1) for all n <= 4. Then, A377472(n) = 11 = a(2) up to n = 13.
Then again, A377472(14..23) = (2, 11, ..., 11) and similarly up to n = 94.
But A377472(103) = 15 = a(3). Then the previous pattern repeats, with A377472(n) = 2 for n = 112, 122, ..., 192, followed by A377472(n) = 15 at n = 201, 299, 397, ..., 887.
Then A377472(984) = 28 = a(4), and it goes on with A377472(n) = 2 at n = 992, 1002, ..., 1072, and so on, with A377472(n) = 28 at n = 1962, 2940, 3918, ..., 8808.
Then A377472(9785) = 41 = a(5), and the whole previous pattern repeats, with A377472(9881) = 15, then A377472(10762) = 28 etc.
At n = 97786, we find A377472(n) = 54 = a(6), and again the whole previous pattern repeats again 8 more times, each time separated by a 54, until we have, at n = 977787, A377472(n) = 67 = a(7). And so on.
