%N Maximum k with 1 <= k <= n such that nk + 1 is prime (or 0 if no such prime exists).

%C It is conjectured that nonzero terms exist for each n: see A089727, the main entry.

%C a(n) = n iff n is a term of A005574.

%t mk[n_]:=Module[{k=n},While[!PrimeQ[n*k+1],k--];If[k<1,0,k]]; Array[mk,80] (* _Harvey P. Dale_, Sep 24 2017 *)

%o (PARI) {A171751(n) = local(k); k=n; while(!isprime(n*k+1) && k>0, k--); k}

%Y Cf. A089727 (corresponding primes), A005574.

%K nonn
