FORMULA
a(n) = p(p[n])#, where p[n] is the n-th prime number and where p(m)# is the m-th primorial number (Cf. A002110).
EXAMPLE
a(1) = p(p(1))# = p(2)# (because p(1) = 2 is the first prime number) = 2* 3 = 6 (by the definition of primorial, see A002110); that is, the product of the first 2 prime numbers.
a(2) = p(p(2))# = p(3)# = 2 * 3 * 5 = 30 = the product of the first 3 primes.
a(3) = 2 * 3 * 5 * 7 * 11 = 2310 = the product of the first 5 primes.
a(4) = 2 * 3 * 5 * 7 * 11 * 13 * 17 = 510510 = product of first 7 primes.
