Conjecture: a(n) exists for all n > 0. Moreover, for n > 66 we have a(n) < n except for n = 364, 408.
a(n) = n for n = 1, 2, 6, 15, 20, 28, 66, ... The next term, if it exists, is greater than 10^4. - Derek Orr, Oct 01 2014
EXAMPLE
a(3) = 5 since 3 + 5 = 8 divides C(6,3) + C(10,5) = 20 + 252 = 272.
