EXAMPLE

1 divides 2*2!-2*1! -> k=2, j=1

2 divides 2*2!-2*1! -> k=2, j=1

3 divides 2*4!-2*3! -> k=4, j=3

4 divides 2*3!-2*2! -> k=3, j=2

5 divides 2*3!-2*1! -> k=3, j=1

MATHEMATICA

s = Table[2n!, {n, 1, 120}];

lk = Table[

  NestWhile[# + 1 &, 1,

   Min[Table[Mod[s[[#]] - s[[j]], z], {j, 1, # - 1}]] =!= 0 &], {z, 1,

    Length[s]}]

Table[NestWhile[# + 1 &, 1,

  Mod[s[[lk[[j]]]] - s[[#]], j] =!= 0 &], {j, 1, Length[lk]}]
