COMMENTS
If n were an odd number, k*n/(k+n) would never be prime for all k; these are trivial and are not included. See A242932.
It is believed that numbers in A016742 (except 4) are members of this sequence.
EXAMPLE
16*k/(16+k) is an integer for k = 16, 48, 112, and 240. These k-values give the integers 8, 12, 14, and 15, respectively. Since none are prime, 16 is a member of this sequence.
PROG
(PARI) a(n)=for(k=1, n*(n-1), s=(k*n)/(k+n); if(floor(s)==s, if(ispseudoprime(s), return(k))))
n=1; while(n<300, if(a(2*n)==0, print1(2*n, ", ")); n+=1)
