Formula

Conjecture: a(n) = denominator(f(n-1)) with f(n) = lcm(2,3,4,5,...,n)*(Sum_{k=0..n} frac(Bernoulli(2*k))*binomial(n+k,k)). - Yalcin Aktar, Jul 23 2008

a(n) = 2*n-3 if 2*n-3 is prime and a(n) = 1 otherwise. a(n+4) = A145737(n+2), for n >= 1. - Artur Jasinski, Nov 29 2008

a(n+1) = denominator( (2n)!/(2n+1) ), n > 0. - Wesley Ivan Hurt, Jun 19 2013

a(n+1) = abs(2n*(pi(2n) - pi(2n-2)) - 1) where abs is the absolute value function and pi is the prime counting function (A000720). - Anthony Browne, Jun 28 2016

a(n+1) = denominator(Bernoulli(2*n)*(2*n)!) = numerator(Clausen(2*n,1)/(2*n)!) with Clausen defined in A160014. - Peter Luschny, Sep 25 2016
