%N Product_{i=4..n} (prime(i) - 6).
%C Arises in Hardy-Littlewood prime k-tuplet conjectural formulas. Also the sequence gives the exact numbers of X42424Y difference-pattern in dRRS[m], where m=modulus=A002110(n). See A049296 (=dRRS[210]=list of first differences of reduced residue system modulo 210=4th primorial). A pattern X42424Y corresponds to a residue-sextuple or it is their difference-quintuple, X,Y > 4. Analogous pattern for primes is in A022008.
%C a(352) has 1001 decimal digits. - _Michael De Vlieger_, Mar 06 2017
