The ceiling function is required only for n = 3 and 5.
Luca and Yound prove that a(n) divides n! for n >= 6. - Michel Marcus, Nov 02 2017
Problem 3 in the 1976 Miklós Schweitzer Competition is to show that tau(n!) divides n! for all sufficiently large n. - Martin Renner, Dec 09 2022

			For n=3 n!=6, d(n!)=4, quotient is 3/2, for n=5 n!=120, d(n!)=16, quotient=15/2. All other cases give integers.
