EXAMPLE
|
p(4)=7, 7^3 = 343; for odd k and n > 1, p(n)^r - k is even and thus not prime, so we only need consider even k.
for k = 2: 343 - 2 = 341, which is 11 * 31 and not prime.
for k = 4: 343 - 4 = 339, which is 3 * 113, also not prime.
for k = 6: 343 - 6 = 337, which is prime, so 6 is the smallest number that can be subtracted from 343 to make another prime.
Hence a(4) = 6.
