COMMENTS
For Modd n (not to be confused with mod n) see a comment on A203571.
See A209388 for the number of elements of the reduced residue class Modd n, called delta(n).
a(prime(n)) = (prime(n)-2)!! Modd prime(n) = 1 if n=1 or (prime(n)-1)/2 is odd, and = r(prime(n)) if (prime(n)-1)/2 is even. Here r(prime(n)) is the smallest positive nontrivial solution of x^2==1 (Modd prime(n)), which exists only for primes of the form 4*k+1 given in A002144. For r(prime(n)) see A206549. This is the analog of Wilson's theorem for Modd prime(n).
For (prime(n)-2)!! see A207332. [Wolfdieter Lang, Mar 28 2012]
FORMULA
a(n) = A209388(n) (Modd n), n>=1.
EXAMPLE
a(1) = 1 (Modd 1) = -1 (mod 1) = 0, because floor(1/1)=1 is odd. a(4)= 1*3 (Modd 4) = 3, a(15) = 1*7*11*13 (Modd 15) = 1001 (Modd 15) = 1001 (mod 15) because floor(1001/15) = 66 is even, hence a(15) = 11.
