a(n) = A000045(n) for n = 0,1,2,3,4,5 and a(n) = A139047(n-1) for n = 1,2,3,...,10. Also, a(n) = n for n = 0,1,5 and a(n) < n for n = 2,3,4,6,7,8,11.
The values of n for which n divides a(n) are given in A343456 and the corresponding quotients are given in A343457.
If r and s are consecutive terms from A343456, then a(r+1) will divide the terms a(r) through a(s). Proof: Clearly, a(r+1) divides itself. Since a(r+1) = a(r)/r implies that r = a(r)/a(r+1), a(r+1) divides a(r). So, a(r+2) = a(r+1)+a(r) is also divisible by a(r+1). Similarly, the remaining terms a(r+3) = a(r+2)+a(r+1) through a(s) = a(s-1)+a(s-2) will also be divisible by a(r+1). QED
Example: a(r) = a(43) = 86903 = 2021*43 = a(44)*(1*43+0)
a(44) = 2021 = 2021* 1 = a(44)*(0*43+1)
a(45) = 88924 = 2021*44 = a(44)*(1*43+1)
a(46) = 90945 = 2021*45 = a(44)*(1*43+2)
a(s) = a(47) = 179869 = 2021*89 = a(44)*(2*43+3).
Notice that the values b and c in a(43+k) = a(44)*(b*43+c) for k = 0,1,2,3,4 follow the extended Fibonacci sequence A212804. In general, any run of terms a(r) through a(s) between successive divisions will be given by a(r+k) = a(r+1)*(A212804(k)*r+A212804(k+1)) for k = 0,1,2,...,s-r.
2 divides a(10) through a(32), 3 divides a(134) through a(144), 5 and 7 divide a(116) through a(140), and 11 divides a(89) through a(297). Conjecture: For any prime p, there exist r and s = k*p from A343456 for which p divides a(r) through a(s).
