A proof of the existence of a(n) for all n was given by Vladimir Shevelev, May 14 2016, as follows:
(Start)
I give a proof of the existence of k in new David's sequence A273038: "Least k such that for all m >= k, A067128(m) is divisible by n."
Let us change the notation. Suppose N in A067128 has prime power factorization (PPF) N=2^k_1*...*p_n^k_n, k_n>=1, (1)
where p_i=prime(i).
From my theorem in A273015 it follows that, when N runs through A067128, p_n in (1) is unbounded and, moreover, tends to infinity, when N tends to infinity.
Let us show that, when N runs through A067128, k_1 is also unbounded.
Indeed, suppose k_1 is bounded. Consider a number N_1 with PPF N_1=2^(k_1+x)*...*p_(n-1)^k_(n-1) such that all powers p^i , i=2,...,n-1, are the same as in (1) and satisfy 2^x
Then N_1d(N).
We want (k_1+x+1)*...*(k_(n-1)+1)>(k_1+1)*...*(k_(n-1)+1)*(k_n+1), or k_1+x+1>(k_1+1)*(k_n+1)=k_1*k_n+k_n+k_1+1, or x>(k_1+1)*k_n.
So, by (2), (k_1+1)*k_n
Since by hypothesis k_1 is bounded, for large n we can choose the required x, which gives a contradiction. So k_1 is unbounded.
Moreover, we see that k_1 tends to infinity as log_2(p_n), n=n(N), when N tends to infinity, otherwise (3) again leads to contradiction.
Suppose m=2^m_1*3^m_2*...*p_r^m_r.
We can choose k_1 > m_1. In the same way we prove that k_2 tends to infinity and choose k_2 > m_2,..., and so on. k_r tends to infinity and we choose k_r > m_r. All k_i , i=1,...,r tend to infinity at least as log_p_r(p_n), n=n(N).
So there exists a large M_m such that for all N from A067128 > M_m, m|N.
