COMMENTS
Conjecture: For any positive integers k and s, all the numbers Sum_{d|n}1/(d+k)^s (n = 1,2,3,...) have pairwise distinct fractional parts, and none of them is an integer.
This implies that a(n) > 1 for all n > 0.
See also A001157 for a similar conjecture involving Sum_{d|n}1/d^s.
I have verified that Sum_{d|n}1/(d+1) (n = 1..2*10^5) indeed have pairwise distinct fractional parts and none of them is an integer. For each k = 2,3,4,5,6 I have verified that Sum_{d|n}1/(d+k) (n = 1..10^5) have pairwise distinct fractional parts and none of them is integral. - Zhi-Wei Sun, Oct 20 2015.
EXAMPLE
a(1) = 2 since sum_{d|1}1/(d+1) = 1/2.
a(2) = 6 since sum_{d|2}1/(d+1) = 1/2 + 1/3 = 5/6.
a(3) = 4 since sum_{d|3}1/(d+1) = 1/2 + 1/4 = 3/4.
