As suggested by David W. Wilson Aug 15 2005. Suppose n is to be written as sum of k consecutive integers starting with m, then 2n = k(2m + k - 1). Only one of the factors is odd. For each odd divisor d of n there is a unique corresponding k = min(d,2n/d). a(n) is the largest among those k. - Jaap Spies (j.spies(AT)hccnet.nl), Aug 16 2005 %D A109814 Nieuw Archief voor Wiskunde 5/6, no. 2, Problems/UWC, Problem C, Jun 2005, pp. 181-182 %H A109814 K.
