%N a(n) = smallest k such that A000326(n+1) = A000326(n) + (A000326(n) mod k), or 0 if no such k exists.

%C a(n) is the "weight" of pentagonal numbers (A000326).

%C The decomposition of pentagonal numbers into weight * level + gap is A000326(n) = a(n) * A184751(n) + A016777(n) if a(n) > 0.

%e For n = 1 we have A000326(n) = 1, A000326(n+1) = 5; there is no k such that 5 - 1 = 4 = (1 mod k), hence a(1) = 0.

%e For n = 5 we have A000326(n) = 35, A000326(n+1) = 51; 19 is the smallest k such that 51 - 35 = 16 = (35 mod k), hence a(5) = 19.

%e For n = 18 we have A000326(n) = 477, A000326(n+1) = 532; 211 is the smallest k such that 532 - 477 = 55 = (477 mod k), hence a(18) = 211.
