Comments

Although every prime divides some Fibonacci number, this is not true for the Lucas numbers. Exactly 1/3 of all primes do not divide any Lucas number. See Lagarias and Moree for more details. - Jonathan Vos Post, Dec 06 2006

First occurrence of k: 0, 3, 8, 15, 20, 30, 40, 70, 60, 80, 90, 140, 176, 120, 168, 180, 324, 252, 240, 378, ..., . - Robert G. Wilson v, Dec 10 2006 [Other than 0, this is sequence A060320. - Jon E. Schoenfield, Dec 30 2016]

If k properly divides n then a(n) >= a(k) + 1, except for a(6) = a(3) = 1. - Robert Israel, Aug 18 2015
