FORMULA

a(n)=min(k) such that n# | k(k+1), where n#=p_1*p_2*...*p_n is the n-th primorial number. (A002110)

EXAMPLE

a(8)=62985 since 62985*62986 = 2*3*5*7*11*13*17*19*409, i.e., it is divisible by the first 8 prime numbers (2,3,..,19).

MATHEMATICA

f[n_] := Block[{k = 1, p = Times @@ Prime@Range@n}, While[ !IntegerQ@ Sqrt[4k*p + 1], k++ ]; Floor@ Sqrt[k*p]]; Array[f, 15] (from Robert G. Wilson v (rgwv(at)rgwv.com), May 13 2006)
