Place the numbers 1..N (N>=2) on a circle and cyclicly mark the 17th unmarked number until all N numbers are marked. The order in which the N numbers are marked defines a permutation; N is a J_17-prime if this permutation consists of a single cycle of length N.
There are 16 J_17-primes in the interval 2..1000000 only. No formula is known; the J_17-primes have been found by exhaustive search.
