COMMENTS
k is an integer that minimizes |k*p1-p2|. It is trivial that if j is the integer part of p2/p1, k is either j or j+1.

EXAMPLE
A087112(1)=4=2*2, 2-2=0, so a(1)=0;
A087112(2)=6=2*3, 3-2=2*2-3=1, so a(2)=1;
...
A087112(9)=35=5*7, 7-5=2, and 2*5-7=3, the smaller is 2. So a(9)=2.
MATHEMATICA
NumDiff[n1_, n2_] := Module[{c1 = n1, c2 = n2}, If[c1 < c2, c1 = c1 + c2; c2 = c1 - c2; c1 = c1 - c2]; k = Floor[c1/c2]; a1 = c1 - k*c2; If[a1 == 0, a2 = 0, a2 = (k + 1) c2 - c1]; Return[Min[a1, a2]]];
p1 = 2; p2 = 1; Table[p2 = NextPrime[p2]; If[p2 > p1, p1 = p2; p2 = 2]; NumDiff[p1, p2], {n, 1, 100}]
