COMMENTS

Using a sieve, these primes can be generated quickly. In the set of primes < 10^9, the density of these primes is about 1/10. It is easy to show that this sequence contains all "safe" primes (A005385).

Primes p such that 6p is the denominator of some Bernoulli number. - T. D. Noe, Sep 26 2006

Except for 5 and 7, primes p such that 12p is the denominator of B(p-1)/(p-1) where B(n) is the Bernoulli number. [From Peter Luschny (peter(AT)luschny.de), Dec 24 2008]

FORMULA

Let h(x)=12x(x+ln(exp(-x)-1)-ln(x)) and [x^n]S(h) denote the coefficient of x^n in the series expansion of h. Consider for n>1 the relation n = denominator((n-1)![x^n]S(h)). [From Peter Luschny (peter(AT)luschny.de), Dec 24 2008]

MAPLE

For p>7: seq(`if`(denom(bernoulli(n-1)/(n-1))=12*n, n, NULL), n=2..500); [From Peter Luschny (peter(AT)luschny.de), Dec 24 2008]
