%N A002981 Numbers n such that n! + 1 is prime.
%C A002981 If n+1 is prime then (by Wilson's theorem) n+1 divides n!+1. Thus for 
               n > 2 if n+1 is prime n is not in the sequence. - Farideh Firoozbakht 
               (f.firoozbakht(AT)sci.ui.ac.ir), Aug 22 2003
%C A002981 For n>2, n!+1 is prime <==> nextprime((n+1)!)>(n+1)nextprime(n!) and 
               we can conjecture that for n>2 if n!+1 is prime then (n+1)!+1 is 
               not prime. - Mohammed Bouayoun (bouyao(AT)wanadoo.fr), Mar 03 2004
%C A002981 The prime members are in A093804 (numbers n such that Sum_{d|n} d! is 
               prime) since Sum_{d|n} d! = n! + 1 if n is prime. - Jonathan Sondow
