A093154 Primes resulting from serial multiplication of even composites, plus 1. 2
5, 193, 23041, 92897281, 980995276801, 23310331287699456001, 31888533201572855808001, 13532215908553332190020108288000001, 8829205774994708066835865418197893120000001 (list; graph; refs; listen; history; internal format)
OFFSET

1,1

COMMENTS

Primes of the form 2^n*(n+1)!+1.

FORMULA

Starting with 4 multiply even composites until the product plus 1 equals a prime

EXAMPLE

a(1) = 5 = 2*2!+1

a(2) = 193 = 2^3*4!+1

a(3) = 23041 = 2^5*6!+1

a(4) = 92897281 = 2^8*9!+1

a(5) = 980995276801 = 2^11*12!+1

a(6) = 23310331287699456001 = 2^16*17!+1

a(11) = 2^87*88!+1 is too large to include.

a(12) = 2^118*119!+1, a(13) = 2^142*143!+1. I conjecture that a(13) is the last prime number of this form. - Jorge Coveiro (jorgecoveiro(AT)yahoo.com), Apr 01 2004
