%N a(n) is the smallest 3-smooth number such that prime(n)*a(n) + 1 is prime.

%C Conjecture: a(n) < prime(n) except for a(522720).

%C a(522720)=12582912 > p(522720)=7728803.

%C Conjecture tested up to a(1000000).

%e prime(1) = 2, 2 * 1 + 1 = 3 is prime, so a(1)=1;

%e prime(2) = 3, 3 * 2 + 1 = 7 is prime, so a(2)=2;

%e ......

%e prime(7) = 17, 17 * 1 + 1 = 18 is not prime,

%e 17 * 2 + 1 = 35 is not prime,

%e 17 * 3 + 1 = 52 is not prime,

%e 17 * 4 + 1 = 69 is not prime,

%e 17 * 6 + 1 = 103 is prime, so a(7)=6
