COMMENTS

n!/n# is known as n compositorial. All values have been proved prime. No more terms up to 6100. Primality proof for the largest, which has 17219 digits: PFGW Version 1.2.0 for Windows [FFT v23.8] Primality testing (5422!/5422#)*(2^5422)+1 [N-1, Brillhart-Lehmer-Selfridge] Running N-1 test using base 2719 Calling Brillhart-Lehmer-Selfridge with factored part 36.34% (5422!/5422#)*(2^5422)+1 is prime!
