A249802 a(n) is the smallest prime q such that n(q-1)-1 is prime, that is, the smallest prime q so that n = (p+1)/(q-1) with p prime; or a(n) = -1 if no such q exists. 4

%e For n=1 the minimum primes p and q are 3 and 5: (p+1)/(q-1) = (3+1)/(5-1) = 4/4 = 1. Therefore a(1)=5.

%e For n=2 the minimum primes p and q are 3 and 3: (p+1)/(q-1) = (3+1)/(3-1) = 4/2 = 2. Therefore a(2)=3. Etc.
