Conjecture: a(n) is defined for all n.
a(303) > 10000, a(304)..a(360) = {1, 2, 11, 1, 990, 1, 1, 2, 2, 4, 74, 5, 1, 10, 6, 6, 4, 1, 1, 2, 1, 9, 12, 1, 80, 2, 1, 1, 2, 14, 3, 2, 3, 1, 12, 1, 60, 36, 1, 8, 4, 34, 1, 522, 3, 15, 14, 1, 6, 2, 3, 1, 4, 5, 4, 10, 1}.
a(n) = 1 if and only if n is in A006254. (End)

Now a(303) is known to be 40174, also other terms > 10000: a(383) = 20956, a(515) = 58466, a(522) = 62288, a(578) = 129468, a(581) > 400000, a(590) = 15526, a(647) = 21576, a(662) = 16590, a(698) = 127558, a(704) = 62034, see the a-file and the references.
a(n) = 2 if and only if n is in A066049 but not in A006254.
a(n) = 3 if and only if n is in A214289 but not in A006254 or A066049. (End)
