COMMENTS

A conjecture of Schinzel, if true, would imply that such a p always exists.

EXAMPLE

1 = (2+1)/(2+1), 2 = (5+1)/(2+1), 3 = (11+1)/(3+1), 4 = (11+1)/(2+1), ...

MAPLE

a:= proc(n) local q;

       q:= 2;

       while not isprime (n*(q+1)-1) do

          q:= nextprime(q);

       od; n*(q+1)-1

    end:

seq (a(n), n=1..300);
