COMMENT

Conjecture: For any positive integer starting value n, iterations of n -> n + tau(n) will eventually join A064491 (verified for all n up to 50000).

EXAMPLE

a(6)=3 because the trajectory for 1 (sequence A064491) starts

1->2->4->7->9->12->18->24->32->38->42...

and the trajectory for 6 starts

6->10->14->18->24->32->38->42->50->56...

so the sequence beginning with 6 joins A064491 after 3 steps.
