%N a(n) is the smallest m > 0 such that the n-th prime divides Jacobsthal(m).

%C All positive Jacobsthal numbers are odd, so the index starts at n = 2.

%C The set of primitive prime factors of J_k is given by {A000040(j) | a(j) = k}.

%H Eric Weisstein's World of Mathematics, <a href="http://mathworld.wolfram.com/PrimitivePrimeFactor.html">Primitive Prime Factor</a>

%F a(n) = 1 (mod A000040(n)) for n > 2.

%e The 4th prime number is 7, and 7 divides 21 which is Jacobsthal(6), so a(4) = 6. The second prime number, 3, divides Jacobsthal(6) as well, but it divides also the smaller Jacobsthal(3), i.e., a(2) = 3.
