If the prime p is in A055469, that is if p = 2, 7, 11, 29, ... = A055469(j) which is valid for the first, 4th, 5th, 10th,.... entry here with j = 1, 2, 3, ..., then a(n) = A052295[A067186(j)] + 1. - R. J. Mathar, Apr 27 2007
It follows from Wilson's theorem that a(n) is divisible by the n-th prime. - Alonso del Arte, Feb 07 2014
