Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

EXAMPLE
For n = 7 there are 11 consecutive primes (5040-5050) between primes 5039 and 5051. 7 is the 4th entry in the sequence. 11 does not appear because 11!+1 is prime.
