%N A058989 Largest number of consecutive integers such that each is divisible by
a prime <= the n-th prime.
%C A058989 Marty Weissman conjectured that a(n)=2q-1, where q is the largest prime
smaller than the n-th prime. The conjecture holds for the first few
terms, but then a(n) is larger than 2q-1. Phil Carmody proved a(n)>
=2q-1. Terms were calculated by Weissman, Carmody and McCranie.
%C A058989 a(n)=A048670(n) - 1, A049300(n) is the smallest value of the mentioned
consecutive integers. - Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com),

%e A058989 The 4th prime is 7. Nine is the maximum number of consecutive integers
such that each is divisible by 2, 3, 5 or 7. (Example: 2 through
10) So a(4)=9.
