Sometimes (Weisstein) called the "usual numbers" as opposed to what Greene and Knuth define as "unusual numbers" (A063538), which turn out to not be so unusual after all (Greene and Knuth 1990, Finch 2001). - Jonathan Vos Post, Sep 11 2010
If we define a divisor d|n to be superior if d >= n/d, then superior divisors are counted by A038548 and listed by A161908. This sequence lists numbers without a superior prime divisor, which is unique (A341676) when it exists. For example, the set of superior prime divisors of each n starts: {},{2},{3},{2},{5},{3},{7},{},{3},{5},{11},{},{13},{7}. The positions of empty sets give the sequence. - Gus Wiseman, Feb 24 2021
As Jonathan Vos Post's comment suggests, the sqrt(n-1)-smooth numbers are asymptotically less dense than their "unusual" complement. This is part of a larger picture of "typical" relative sizes of a number's prime factors: see, for example, the medians of the n-th smallest prime factors of the positive integers in A281889. - Peter Munn, Mar 03 2021

FORMULA
|
For small n (e.g. n < 10000) a(n) can apparently be approximated by 3.7642*n.
Asymptotically, the number of sqrt(n)-smooth numbers < x is known to be (1-log(2))*x + O(x/log(x)), see Ramaswami (1949).
n = (1-log(2))*a(n) - 0.59436*a(n)/log(a(n)) is a fitted approximation. (End)
However, it is known that this fit only leads to an increase of accuracy in the range up to a(10^11). The improvement in accuracy suggested by the plot of the relative error for even larger n does not occur. For larger n the behavior of the error term O(x/log(x)) is not known. - Hugo Pfoertner, Nov 12 2023

a(100) = 360; a(1000) = 3744; a(10000) = 37665; a(100000)=375084;
a(10^6) = 3697669; a(10^7) = 36519633; a(10^8) = 360856296;
a(10^9) = 3571942311; a(10^10) = 35410325861; a(10^11) = 351498917129. - Giovanni Resta, Apr 12 2020
