Erdős Problem #45 — Monochromatic sums of distinct divisors under kk-colourings

Erdős

One last Ramsey type problem: Let nkn_k be the smallest integer (if it exists) for which if we colour the proper divisors of nkn_k by kk colours then nkn_k will be a monochromatic sum of distinct divisors, namely a sum of distinct divisors in a colour class. I am sure that nkn_k exists for every kk but I think it is not even known if n2n_2 exists. It would be of some interest to determine at least n2n_2.
