%H Lei Zhou, <a href="/A237885/b237885.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10000</a>

%e When n=4, 4n=16, 16=13+3, (13-3)/2=5, 16-5=11, all four numbers {3, 5, 11, 13} are prime numbers. There is no other such four number set with this property, so a(4)=1;

%e When n=30, 4n=120.

%e 120=113+7, (113-7)/2=53, 120-53=67. Set 1: {7, 53, 67, 113}.

%e 120=109+11, (109-11)/2=49=7*7, X

%e 120=107+13, (107-13)/2=47, 120-47=73. Set 2: {13, 47, 73, 107}.

%e 120=103+17, (103-17)/2=43, 120-43=77=7*11, X

%e 120=101+19, (101-19)/2=41, 120-41=79. Set 3: {19, 41, 79, 101}.

%e 120=97+23, (97-23)/2=37, 120-37=83. Set 4: {23, 37, 83, 97}.

%e 120=89+31, (89-31)/2=29, 120-29=91=7*13, X

%e 120=83+37, same with Set 4.

%e 120=79+41, same with Set 3.

%e 120=73+47, same with Set 2.

%e 120=67+53, same with Set 1.

%e 120=61+59, (61-59)/2=1, X

%e So four acceptable sets have been found, and therefore a(30)=4.
