%N One less than six times product of first n primes of form 6k-1.

%C a(n)=5 mod 6, so a(n) has at least one prime factor of form 6k-1 and this is not one of those included in the calculation of a(n); for example 5609 has 71 as a prime factor. Therefore there are an infinite number of prime numbers of form 6k-1 (and also of form 3k-1).

%F a(n) = (a(n-1)+1)*A007528(n)-1 = 6*A057130(n)-1.

%e a(3) = 6*(5*11*17)-1 = 5609.

%o (PARI) lista(nn) = {pp = 6; for (n = 1, nn, p = prime(n); if (Mod(p, 6) == -1, pp *= p; print1(pp-1, ", ")););} \\ _Michel Marcus_, Sep 08 2013
