Table of n, a(n) for n=1..18.

J. K. Andersen, Consecutive Congruent Primes.

Example

a(4) = 20809 because this number is the first in a sequence of 4 consecutive primes all of the form 8n + 1.

Mathematica

NextPrime[ n_Integer ] := Module[ {k = n + 1}, While[ ! PrimeQ[ k ], k++ ]; Return[ k ] ]; PrevPrime[ n_Integer ] := Module[ {k = n - 1}, While[ ! PrimeQ[ k ], k-- ]; Return[ k ] ]; p = 0; Do[ a = Table[ -1, {n} ]; k = Max[ 1, p ]; While[ Union[ a ] != {1}, k = NextPrime[ k ]; a = Take[ AppendTo[ a, Mod[ k, 8 ] ], -n ] ]; p = NestList[ PrevPrime, k, n ]; Print[ p[ [ -2 ] ] ]; p = p[ [ -1 ] ], {n, 1, 9} ] a(10) > 123700000.
