COMMENTS

The ordered pair (p(n),a(n)) where p(n) is the n-th irregular prime is called an irregular pair. Some irregular primes, such as 157, are in more than one pair. See A091887 for the number of pairs for each irregular prime. See A092681 and A092682 for higher-order irregular pairs. - T. D. Noe (noe(AT)sspectra.com), Mar 03 2004

The first irregular prime (37) divides the numerator (-7709321041217) of the 32_nd Bernoulli number.

MATHEMATICA

Do[ p = Prime[ n ]; k = 1; While[ 2*k < p - 3 && Mod[ Numerator[ BernoulliB[ 2*k ] ], p ] != 0, k++ ]; If[ 2*k != p - 3, Print[ 2*k ] ], { n, 3, 200} ]
