Hello R.E.;
My thought was that iS X ==> iS X + k * !61 NB. where 'iS x' means 'x
is a solution.'

If X is a solution than almost all multiples of X are also a solution.

Hello Arie;
Offhand, I'd say there were an infinite number of solutions; the
puzzle is to find the smallest positive one..
Yes you're right, but I got very interested in the special
properties of the two consecutive divisors. So I drifted away
from solving puzzle, in which I succeeded BTW, but with a very
long sentence :-[
At this moment my computer is running a laborious test in
finding these divisors for n = 4 .. 8293. So I could confirm
(or reject) my conjecture for at least these few n's. :-)
Question:
I'm not quite sure what you mean by
'an infinite number of solutions'
On what conditions exactly?
For every n (or interval of n's) there exists a certain X?
