%N Smallest positive Fibonacci number divisible by n.

%C Corollary 1 in Riasat (2011), "every positive integer divides infinitely many Fibonacci numbers," demonstrates that this sequence is infinite. - _Alonso del Arte_, Jul 27 2013

%C Note that F(0)=0 is divisible by any n > 0, hence "positive" is added in NAME. - _Zak Seidov_, Jan 07 2016

%F a(A000045(k)) = A000045(k), for k > 0. - _Altug Alkan_, Jan 07 2016

%F a(n) = n * A037943(n). - _Alois P. Heinz_, Jan 08 2017

%e Fibonacci(12) = 144 is the first Fibonacci number that is divisible by 6, so a(6) = 144.
