p^2 - 25 does contain the prime factors 2, 3, but not 5: p - 5 and p + 5 are not divisible by 5 and p^2 - 25 is divisible by 24 as primes are 1 or 2 mod 3 and thus p - 5 or p + 5 are 0 mod 3 and primes are 1 or 3 mod 4 and thus p - 5 or p + 5 are 0 mod 4 and both p - 5 and p + 5 are even.
In general, if p > k is prime and k is odd and not divisible by 3, p^2 - k^2 is divisible by 24.

EXAMPLE
a(4) = 5231, 5226 = 2*3*13*67, 5236 = 2^2*7*11*17, the factorization of 5231^2 - 25 contains the 4 consecutive primes 7, 11, 13 and 17 beginning with 7.
