%N Last residue class to appear in the partition numbers mod n.

%C Let k be the smallest number such that {p(1), p(2), ..., p(k)} contains each residue class mod n, where p(m) is the m-th partition number A000041(m). Then a(n) = p(k) mod n.

%H Charles R Greathouse IV, <a href="/A278210/b278210.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000</a>

%F a(n) = A000041(A278209(n)) mod n.

%e p(1) = 1, p(2) = 2, p(3) = 3, p(4) = 5, p(5) = 7, p(6) = 11, p(7) = 15, p(8) = 22, p(9) = 30, p(10) = 42, and p(11) = 56. Mod 4 these are 1, 2, 3, 1, 3, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, and 0 respectively. The last term to appear is 0 mod 4 at index 11, so a(4) = 0.
