COMMENTS

If n+1 is prime then (by Wilson's theorem) n+1 divides n!+1. Thus for n > 2 if n+1 is prime n is not in the sequence. - Farideh Firoozbakht, Aug 22 2003
For n>2, n!+1 is prime <==> nextprime((n+1)!)>(n+1)nextprime(n!) and we can conjecture that for n>2 if n!+1 is prime then (n+1)!+1 is not prime. - Mohammed Bouayoun (bouyao(AT)wanadoo.fr), Mar 03 2004
The prime members are in A093804 (numbers n such that Sum_{d|n} d! is prime) since Sum_{d|n} d! = n! + 1 if n is prime. - Jonathan Sondow
150209 is also in the sequence, cf. the link to Caldwell's prime pages. - M. F. Hasler, Nov 04 2011

EXAMPLE

3!+1 = 7 is prime, so 3 is in the sequence.
