COMMENTS

Since all consecutive primes, p < q and p greater than 2, are odd, therefore the GCD( p-1, q-1 ) must be even.

EXAMPLE

n=4: a(4)=24=GCD[89-1,97-1]=GCD[p(24)-1,p(25)-1]=8=2n.

MATHEMATICA

a = Table[0, {100}]; p = 3; q = 5; Do[q = Prime[n + 1]; d = GCD[p - 1, q - 1]/2; If[d < 101 && a[[d]] == 0, a[[d]] = n]; b = c, {n, 2, 10^7}]; a
