Comments

The term a(11) has 129 digits which is too large to show in data section.

a(15) has 1081 digits, hence not included in b-file.

The first 20 primes are for n = 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 12, 21, 25, 40, 43, 83, 107, 132, 139, 478, 505, 931, 1516, 1739, 5208. - Jens Kruse Andersen, Aug 10 2014

Example

m = 2: m! - (m + 1)! + (m + 2)! - 1 = 19 which is prime, hence appears in the sequence.
m = 6: m! - (m + 1)! + (m + 2)! - 1 = 35999 which is prime, hence appears in the sequence.
