COMMENT

"Smallest k such that, for 0 <= i < n, i+1 divides k-i" produces the same sequence.

Suggested by Chinese Remainder Theorem. This sequence can generate others: smallest b(n) such that b(n)==i (mod(i+2)) 1<=i<=n, gives b(1)=1 and b(n)=a(n+1)-1 for n>1; smallest c(n) such that c(n)==i (mod(i+3)) 1<=i<=n, gives c(1)=1, c(2)=17 and c(n)=a(n+2)-2 for n>2; smallest d(n) such that c(n)==i (mod(i+4)) 1<=i<=n, gives d(1)=1, d(2)=26, d(3)=206 and d(n)=a(n+3)-3 for n>3, etc.

FORMULA

a(n) = LCM(1, 2, 3, ...., n+1)-1 = A003418(n+1)-1.

EXAMPLE

a(3) = 11 because 11 == 1 mod 2, 11 == 2 mod 3 and 11 == 3 mod 4.
