%N The number of m such that prime(n) divides m!+1.

%C By Wilson's theorem, we know that for each prime p there is at least one m such that p divides m!+1. The largest such m is p-1. Sequence A073944 lists the smallest m for each prime.

%e a(20)=7 because 71, the 20th prime, divides m!+1 for the seven values m=7,9,19,51,61,63,70. Interesting, note that 7+63=9+61=19+51=70.
