%N a(n) is the number of (not necessarily distinct) integers i!+(prime(n)-1)!/i!, i=1,2,...,prime(n)-2, which are divisible by prime(n).

%C If n>1, then from Wilson's theorem (i=1) and a simple corollary to it (i=prime(n)-2) we have a(n)>=2.

%C Conjecture: There are infinitely many n for which a(n)=2 (the sequence of corresponding primes is A238460).

%e Let n=4, prime(n)=7. Consider integers i!+6!/i!, i=1,2,3,4,5: 721,362,126,54,126. Among them 721,126,126 are divisible by 7. So a(4)=3.
