COMMENT

Version 2 of the "previous prime" function is "largest prime < n". This produces the same sequence of numberical values, except the offset (or indexing) starts at 3 instead of 2.
Maple's "prevprime" function uses version 2.
Also the largest prime dividing n! or LCM[1,..,n] - Labos E. (labos(AT)ana.sote.hu), Jun 22 2000
Also largest prime among terms of (n+1)st row of Pascal's triangle - Jud McCranie (j.mccranie(AT)comcast.net), Jan 17 2000.
Also largest integer k such that A000203(k)<=n+2 - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Mar 17 2002
Also largest prime factor of A061355(n) (denominator of Sum_{k=0..n} 1/k!). - Jonathan Sondow (jsondow(AT)alumni.princeton.edu), Jan 09 2005
Also prime(pi(x)) where pi(x) is the prime counting function = number of primes <= x. - Cino Hilliard (hillcino368(AT)gmail.com), May 03 2005
Also largest prime factor, occuring to the power p, in denominator of sum(1/k^p,k=1..n), for any positive integer p. - M. F. Hasler (Maximilian.Hasler(AT)gmail.com), Nov 10 2006
