Partial sums of the primorials A002110 starting from 2. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Feb 05 2014

All terms are even. From a(98) on, all terms are multiples of 523. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Feb 05 2014

The only values of n for which a(n)/2 is prime are: 3, 5, 7, 11, 15, 47, 49. The corresponding 7 primes are: 19, 1279, 271549, 103631759509, 314142211092671239, 826811434211869939736645732264127163964562391958563586838409421490271014424018927729, 41839936239750050346953677118447851613901200239299781782205558511980130628486398081201749. - Amiram Eldar, May 04 2017

Examples

			a(4) = 248 because p_1 + p_1*p_2 + p_1*p_2*p_3 + p_1*p_2*p_3*p_4 = 2 + 6 + 30 + 210 = 248.
a(5) = 2558: A002110(3) = 30, A286624(4) = 85, a(2) = 8; 30*85 + 8 = 2558. - _Bob Selcoe_, Oct 12 2017

Formula

a(n) = A002110(n-2)*A286624(n-1) + a(n-3), n >= 4. - Bob Selcoe, Oct 12 2017

a(n) = A276085(A070826(1+n)) = A084737(2+n)-2 = A373158(A002110(n)). - Antti Karttunen, Feb 06 2024, Oct 28 2024
