Comments

a(n) = A173330(n)*A010050(A005098(n)) mod A002144(n);

A002973(n) = MIN(a(n), A002144(n) - a(n)) / 2.

Formula

a(n) = ((2k)! / 2(k!))^2 mod p, where p = 4*k+1 = A002144(n).

Example

n=7: A002144(7) = 53 = 4*13 + 1,
a(7) = A173330(7) * 26! mod 53 = 7*403291461126605635584000000 mod 53 = 2,
A002973(7) = MIN(2, 53 - 2) / 2 = 1;
n=8: A002144(8) = 61 = 4*15 + 1,
a(8) = A173330(8) * 30! mod 61 = 5*265252859812191058636308480000000 mod 61 = 55,
A002973(8) = MIN(55, 61 - 55) / 2 = 3.
