Suppose that (s(i)) is a strictly increasing sequence in the set N of positive integers. For i in N, let r(h) be the residue of s(i+h)-s(i) mod n, for h=1,2,...,n+1. There are at most n distinct residues r(h), so that there must exist numbers h and h' such that r(h)=r(h'), where 0<=h

Corollary: for each n, there are infinitely many pairs (j,k) such that n divides s(k)-s(j), and this result holds if s is assumed unbounded, rather than strictly increasing.

			Let s(k)=prime(k).  As in A204890, the ordering of differences s(k)-s(j), follows from the arrangement shown here:
k...........1..2..3..4..5...6...7...8...9
s(k)........2..3..5..7..11..13..17..19..23
...
s(k)-s(1)......1..3..5..9..11..15..17..21..27
s(k)-s(2).........2..4..8..10..14..16..20..26
s(k)-s(3)............2..6..8...12..14..18..24
s(k)-s(4)...............4..6...10..12..16..22
...
least (k,j) such that 1 divides s(k)-s(j) for some j is (2,1), so a(1)=2.
least (k,j) such that 2 divides s(k)-s(j): (3,2), so a(2)=3.
least (k,j) such that 3 divides s(k)-s(j): (3,1), so a(3)=3.
