EXAMPLE
(12+k)/k is prime for k = 1,2,3. 12 is the smallest such number so a(3) = 12.
MATHEMATICA
a[1] = 1; a[n_] := a[n] = For[dm = LCM @@ Range[n]; m = Quotient[a[n - 1], dm]*dm, True, m = m + dm, If[AllTrue[Range[n], PrimeQ[(m + #)/#] &], Return[m]]]; Table[an = a[n]; Print["a(", n, ") = ", an]; an, {n, 1, 10}] (* Jean-François Alcover, Dec 01 2016 *)
PROG
(PARI) isok(m, n) = {for (k = 1, n, if ((m+k) % k, return (0), if (! isprime((m+k)/k), return(0))); ); return (1); }
a(n) = {m = 1; while(! isok(m, n), m++); m; } \\ Michel Marcus, Aug 31 2013
