A086146 a(n) is the smallest k>=n such that the number of partitions of k is a multiple of n, or -1 if no such k exists.

Comments

I do not know if a(n) exists for all n. First term which is currently unknown is a(2219) (a(2219) > 11600, while a(2218) = 2602).

Table of n, a(n) for n=1..68.

Example

a(4) is 11 because 11 is the smallest number for which P(11) is divisible by 4, where P() is the partition function.

Maple

for i from 2 while i < 30000 do for j from i while j < 1000000000 do c := numbpart(j); if (c mod i = 0) then print(i, j); break; end if; end do; end do;
# alternative
A086146 := proc(n)
    local k ;
    for k from n do
        if combinat[numbpart](k) mod n =0 then
            return k;
        end if;
    end do:
end proc: # R. J. Mathar, Apr 22 2013
