%N Number of primes of the form nk+1, where k=1 to n; 0 if no such number exists.

%C Conjecture: no entry is zero; i.e. for every n there exists a prime of the form nk+1, k<=n.

%C The conjecture is essentially the same as the one in A034693, which has a long history in the study of primes in arithmetic progression. - _T. D. Noe_, Jun 29 2003
