EXAMPLE

The numbers that do not divide 4 are 3, 5, 6, 7, ..., so a(3) = 4+5 = 9.

Here are the beginnings of the trajectories of some small numbers:

...1--4--9---13--16--21--25--28--32--37--40---

.............|...................|...|

......5--8---+...............29--+...|

.....................................|

...2--6--11--14--18--23--26--30------+

.............|...........|...........|

...3--7--10--+...........|.......33--+

.........................|

.............12--19--22--+

.................|.......|

.............15--+.......|

.........................|

.................17--20--+

..............................................

.........................24--31--34--38--42---

.............................|.......|

.........................27--+...35--+

MATHEMATICA

f[n_] := (k = 1; s = {}; While[ True, k++; If[ !Divisible[n, k], AppendTo[s, k]]; If[Length[s] == 2, Break[]]]; n + Last[s]); NestList[f, 1, 58] (* From Jean-François Alcover, Oct 05 2011 *)
