%N a(n) = n - prevprime(n).

%C All runs end in even numbers at a(p), new highs are found at A000101 and the increasing gap size is A005250. - _Robert G. Wilson v_, Dec 07 2001

%C All terms are positive since here the variant 2 (A151799(n) < n) of the prevprime function is used, rather than the variant 1 (A007917(n) <= n). - _M. F. Hasler_, Sep 09 2015
