As n increases, the internal angle of the regular n-gon tends towards 180 degrees, so a(n) = 2 for n > 6.

This also shows that no regular n-gon can tile the plane for n > 6 since in any tiling by convex tiles at least three tiles meet at every vertex.

			For n = 5: arranging 3 regular pentagons around a vertex leaves a gap smaller than the internal angle of a regular pentagon, so a(5) = 3.
