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”).

%N a(n) is the smallest number m such that (m-k+1)/k is prime for k=1,2,...,n.
%C a(n) is the smallest prime number p such that floor(p/k) are also primes for all k=1,2,...,n.
%C This sequence is A078502 - 1. See that entry for more information and further terms. - _N. J. A. Sloane_, May 04 2009
%C It is obvious that this sequence is increasing and each term is prime. If n>4 then a(n)==9 (mod 10).
%C a(n) = -1 (mod 120) for n > 4, see A078502. - _Jean-Christophe Hervé_, Sep 15 2014
%e Floor(5/2) is prime; floor(11/2) and floor(11/3) are primes; floor(11/2), floor(11/3) and floor(11/4) are primes; floor(7224839/2)...floor(7224839/5) are primes.
