a(n) = largest k such that A000959(n+1) = A000959(n) + (A000959(n) mod k), or 0 if no such k exists.

From the definition, a(n) = A000959(n) - A031883(n) if A000959(n) - A031883(n) > A031883(n), 0 otherwise where A000959 are the lucky numbers and A031883 are the gaps between lucky numbers.

EXAMPLE
For n = 1 we have A000959(1) = 1, A000959(2) = 3; there is no k such that 3 - 1 = 2 = (1 mod k), hence a(1) = 0.
For n = 3 we have A000959(3) = 7, A000959(4) = 9; 5 is the largest k such that 9 - 7 = 2 = (7 mod k), hence a(3) = 5; a(3) = 7 -2 = 5.
For n = 24 we have A000959(24) = 105, A000959(25) = 111; 99 is the largest k such that 111 - 105 = 6 = (105 mod k), hence a(24) = 99; a(24) = 105 - 6 = 99.
