COMMENTS

The Mmca code does not produce the terms 2,4,6,8,10: For these terms there is no composite in the set { n-p }, such that the ratio (#primes)/(#composites) is not defined. For all numbers > 10 there are at least two primes and one composite in this set.

It seems that this sequence is finite, and that 420 is the largest term. [M. F. Hasler, Nov 11 2009]
