A275946 Number of nonzero digits that are the sole occupants of their slope in factorial base representation: a(n) = A056169(A275734(n)). (See comments for more exact definition.)
Examples
For n=2, in factorial base "10", there is only one slope occupied by a single nonzero digit (1 is on the sub-maximal slope as 2-1 = 1), thus a(2) = 1. For n=3, in factorial base "11", there are two occupied slopes, each having just one digit present, thus a(3) = 2. For n=5, in factorial base "21", there is just one distinct occupied slope, but it contains two nonzero digits (2 and 1 both occupy the maximal slope as 2-2 = 1-1 = 0), thus there are no slopes with just one nonzero digit and a(5) = 0. For n=525, in factorial base "41311", there are three occupied slopes. The maximal slope contains the nonzero digits "3.1", the sub-maximal digits "4..1.", and the sub-sub-sub-maximal just "1..." (the 1 in the position 4 from right is the sole occupier of its own slope). Thus only one of the slopes is occupied by a lonely occupant and a(525) = 1.
