FORMULA
I conjecture that for n>2 we have n + 1/2 <= a(n)/a(n-1) <= n + 2/3. If this conjecture is true we have floor(a(n+1)/a(n)) = n. - Mohammed Bouayoun (mohammed.bouayoun(AT)sanef.com), Apr 03 2006
EXAMPLE
a(3) = 6 as there are 6 primes between 3! = 6 and 4! = 24: 7,11,13,17,19,23; a(4) = 21 as there are 21 primes between 24 and 120.
