%F a(n) = least prime factor of b(n)^2-1, where b(n) = product a(k), 0<k<n, = A102927.

%e a(5)=11 because 2*3*5*29=870, 869=11*79, 871=13*67.

%e a(31) = 13590243019242466336587034391 because this is the least prime factor of A102927(30)+1. The least prime factor of A102927(30)-1 is 44989026625856465412069667987. Remarkably, both are 29-digit numbers. - _David Wasserman_, Apr 15 2008
