%N a(n) = ceiling(n!/d(n!)).

%C The ceiling function is required only for n = 3 and 5.

%C Luca and Yound prove that a(n) divides n! for n >= 6. - _Michel Marcus_, Nov 02 2017

%C Problem 3 in the 1976 Miklós Schweitzer Competition is to show that tau(n!) divides n! for all sufficiently large n. - _Martin Renner_, Dec 09 2022
