Comments

a(n) is the smallest positive integer m with the property that p(n+1)^m == 1 (mod p(n)), where p(n) stands for the n-th prime; it is always a divisor of p(n)-1. For n < 10^8, a(n) is never equal to A226295(n).

Example

a(2) = 2 because 5^2 == 1 (mod 3) but 5^1 !== 1(mod 3).
a(6) = 6  because 17^6 == 1 (mod 13) but 17^u !== 1 (mod 13) for  u < 6.
