COMMENT

a(n)=A024619(n) - 1. Proof: (A024619 is the numbers which are not powers of primes.)

If N+1 is a power of a prime (N+1=P^K), then only smaller powers of that prime divide numbers up to N, and so lcm(1..N) doesn't have K powers of P; that is, N+1=P^K doesn't divide lcm(1..N).

If N+1 is not a power of a prime, then it has at least two prime factors. Call one of them P, let K be such that P^K divides N+1, but P^(K+1) doesn't, and let N+1=P^K*R. Then

- R is greater than 1 because it is divisible by another prime factor of N+1; - P^K and R are each less than N+1 because the other is greater than one; - lcm(P^K,R) divides lcm(1..N) because 1..N includes both numbers; - lcm(P^K,R)=N+1 because P doesn't divide R; - N+1 divides lcm(1..N). - Don Reble, Mar 12, 2003

EXAMPLE

17 is the sequence because lcm(1,2,...,17)=12252240 and 17+1=18 divides 12252240.
