COMMENT

How many times does each p(n) appears in this sequence ?

The only value (p(n)-k!)=0 is n=1;k=2.

Are n=2;k=2 and n=4;k=3 the only values (p(n)-k!)=1?

There exists infinitely many solutions in the form (p(n)-k!)=p(n-t), t<n.

Are there infinitely many solutions in the form

(p(n)-k!)= p(r_1)*...*p(r_i); r_i < n for all i ?

FORMULA

a(n)= p(n)- k! ; p(n) is n-th prime number; k is greatest number for which k!<=p(n)

EXAMPLE

a(1)= p(1)-2! = 2-2 = 0

a(2)= p(2)-2! = 3-2 = 1

a(3)= p(3)-2! = 5-2 = 3

a(4)= p(4)-3! = 7-6 = 1

a(5)= p(5)-3! = 11-6 = 5

a(6)= p(6)-3! = 13-6 = 7

a(7)= p(7)-3! = 17-6 = 11

a(8)= p(8)-3! = 19-6 = 13

a(9)= p(9)-3! = 23-6 = 17

a(10)= p(10)-4! = 29-24 = 5
