%N A059955 a(n)= [p(n)!/lcm{1,2,...,p(n)}] modulo[p(n)], where p(n) = n-th prime.
%C A059955 a(n) gives also the smallest coefficient for which the multiple M of
lcm(1 through p(n)-1) satisfies p(n) divides M + 1. This computes
the solution of the puzzle requiring the smallest number such that
grouping in 2's, 3's, etc. up to the n-th prime,all leave a remainder
of one except the last which leaves no remainder.
%e A059955 a(7)=10 because p(7)=17 and [17!/lcm(1,2,...,17)] mod 17 = 29030400 mod
17 = 10
