%N Integers n such that n!/(n-2) + 1 is prime.

%C Corresponding primes are 7, 13, 41, 181, 1009, 453601, ...

%e 3 is a term because 2*3 + 1 = 7 is prime.

%e 4 is a term because 1*3*4 + 1 = 13 is prime.

%e 5 is a term because 1*2*4*5 + 1 = 41 is prime.

%e 6 is a term because 1*2*3*5*6 + 1 = 181 is prime.

%e 7 is a term because 1*2*3*4*6*7 + 1 = 1009 is prime.
