COMMENT

a(n)=5 mod 6, so a(n) has at least one prime factor of form 6k-1, and this is not one of those included in the calculation of a(n); for example 5609 has 71 as a prime factor. Therefore there are an infinite number of prime numbers of form 6k-1 (and also of form 3k-1).

FORMULA

a(n) =(a(n-1)+1)*A007528(n)-1 =6*A057130(n)-1

EXAMPLE

a(3)=6*(5*11*17)-1=5609

CROSSREFS

Cf. A007528, A057130.
