Comments

All primes except 5, 13, 563, and any other Wilson prime A007540 that may exist.

Same as primes p that do not divide their Wilson quotient ((p-1)!+1)/p.

Wilson's theorem says that (p-1)! == -1 (mod p) if and only if p is prime.

p = prime(i) is a term iff A250406(i) != 0. - Felix Fröhlich, Jan 24 2016

Complement of A007540 in A000040. - Felix Fröhlich, Jan 24 2016

Formula

((p-1)!+1)/p =/= 0 (mod p), where p is prime.

Example

2 is a non-Wilson prime since (2-1)! = 1 ==/== -1 (mod 2^2).
