Examples
For the 1st term, 3! is in the middle between its closest prime neighbors 5 and 7. For the 2nd term, 5! is in the middle between its closest prime neighbors 113 and 127. From _Jon E. Schoenfield_, Jan 14 2022: (Start) In the table below, k = a(n), k! - d and k! + d are the two closest primes to k!, and d = A033932(k) = A033933(k) = A053711(n): . n k d - ---- ---- 1 3 1 2 5 7 3 10 11 4 21 31 5 171 397 6 190 409 7 348 1657 8 1638 2131 9 3329 7607 (End)
