A350936 a(n) is the smallest number m such that tau(m) = n*tau(m-1) = n*tau(m+1) or 0 if no such m exists, where tau(k) = A000005(k).

Corresponding values of tau(a(n)): 4, 4, 6, 8, 20, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 44, 24, 52, 28, 30, 32, 68, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 92, 48, 100, 52, 54, 56, 116, 60, 124, 64, 132, 136, 70, 72, 296, ...

Triples of [tau(a(n) - 1), tau(a(n)), tau(a(n) + 1)] = [tau(a(n)) / n, tau(a(n)), tau(a(n)) / n]: [4, 4, 4], [2, 4, 2], [2, 6, 2], [2, 8, 2], [4, 20, 4], [2, 12, 2], [2, 14, 2], [2, 16, 2], [2, 18, 2], [2, 20, 2], [4, 44, 4], ...

Examples

			a(3) = 12 because 12 is the smallest number m such that tau(m) = 3 * tau(m-1) = 3 * tau(m+1); tau(12) = 3 * tau(11) = 3 * tau(13) = 3 * 2 = 6.
