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”).

If n is prime replace with the n-th nonprime otherwise replace with the n-th prime.

%e 4 is composite so replace it with prime(4) = 7, the 4th entry in the table.
