Table of n, a(n) for n=1..7.

Example

a(2) = 6, because 6 is the smallest k such that (A115091(2)-k)! == -1 (mod A115091(2)^2), which yields the congruence (11-6)! == -1 (mod 11^2).

Mathematica

t = Select[Prime@ Range@ 120, AnyTrue[Range@ #, Function[m, Divisible[m! + 1, #^2]]] &]; Table[k = 1; While[Mod[(t[[n]] - k)!, t[[n]]^2] != t[[n]]^2 - 1, k++]; k, {n, 7}] (* Michael De Vlieger, Nov 10 2015, Version 10 *)
