FORMULA

a(n) ≍ n^(1/3), with lim sup a(n)/n^(1/3) being (6*log(2)*log(3)*log(5))^(1/3)/log(3) = 1.770... where A051037(n) is a power of 3 and the lim inf being (6*log(2)*log(3)*log(5))^(1/3)/log(60) = 0.4749... where A051037(n) is a power of 60. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Mar 08 2022

EXAMPLE

a(1) = 0 since A051037(1) = 1 | 60^0.

a(2) = 1 since A051037(2) = 2 | 60^1; 1/2 in base 60 is represented by digit 30 after the radix point ":", i.e., :30.

a(7) = 2 since A051037(7) = 8 | 60^2; 1/8 in base 60 is :7,30, etc.
