COMMENT
|
Analogous to Fortunate numbers and like them, the entries appear to be primes. In fact, the first 541 terms are primes. Are all terms prime?
a(n) is the first (smallest) m such that m > 1 and n!+ m is prime. The second such m is A087202(n). a(n) must be greater than nextprime(n)-1. - Farideh Firoozbakht (mymontain(AT)yahoo.com), Sep 01 2003
