Place the numbers 1..N (N>=2) on a circle and cyclicly mark the 14th unmarked number until all N numbers are marked. The order in which the N numbers are marked defines a permutation; N is a J_14-prime if this permutation consists of a single cycle of length N.

There are 9 J_14-primes in the interval 2..1000000 only. No formula is known; the J_14-primes were found by exhaustive search.

			2 is a J_14-prime (trivial).

Place the numbers 1..N (N>=2) on a circle and cyclicly mark the 16th unmarked number until all N numbers are marked. The order in which the N numbers are marked defines a permutation; N is a J_16-prime if this permutation consists of a single cycle of length N.

There are 12 J_16-primes in the interval 2..1000000 only. No formula is known; the J_16-primes were found by exhaustive search.
