Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N Least k such that n! divides (n+k)!/(n+1)!.

%C Motivated by 6!=10!/7!.

%C It appears that for most n, a(n) = n. The sequence of n for which a(n) != n begins: 6, 28, 42, 45, 66, 77, 91, 110, 126 ... that is probably A120624. - _Michel Marcus_, Aug 21 2013
