Comments

Since all consecutive primes, p < q and p greater than 2, are odd, therefore gcd( p-1, q-1 ) must be even.

Examples

			a(4) = 89 because gcd(89-1, 97-1) = gcd(8*11, 8*16) = 8 = 2*4 and these primes are the smallest with this property.
a(49) = 604073 because gcd(604073-1, 604171-1) = gcd(6164*98, 6165*98) = 98 = 2*49.
