COMMENTS
Conjecture: a(n) exists for any n > 0. Moreover, a(n) <= n*(n-1) except for n = 1, 2, 3, 9.
In contrast, it is easy to show that for any integer n > 0, there is a positive integer m such that m + n divides 2^m - 1.
a(n) exists for any n > 0. See Bloom (1998). - Amiram Eldar, Jan 15 2022

EXAMPLE
a(1) = 10 since 10 + 1 = 11 divides F(10) = 55.
