Giovanni Resta, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..4000
EXAMPLE
If n=51 then the number of divisors of the central binomial coefficient binomial(51,25) is 4608, while the maximal number of divisors of binomial(51,k) is 6144, which appears first at k=24; thus the deviation a(51) = |25-24| = 1 is small.
MATHEMATICA
a[n_] := Block[{d = DivisorSigma[0, Binomial[n, Range[0, n/2]]]}, Floor[n/2] - Position[d, Max[d], 1, 1][[1, 1]] + 1]; Array[a, 100] (* Giovanni Resta, May 14 2018 *)
