nonn

Conjecture: a(n)>0 for all n>4.
This implies the twin prime conjecture since k*p is not practical for any prime p>sigma(k)+1.
Zhi-Wei Sun also made the following conjectures:
(1) For each integer n>197, there is a practical number k(2) For every n=9,10,... there is a practical number k(3) For any integer n>26863, the interval [1,n] contains five consecutive integers m-2, m-1, m, m+1, m+2 with m-1 and m+1 both prime, and m-2, m, m+2, m*n all practical.

			a(11)=1 since 5 and 7 are twin primes, and 6 and 6*11 are both practical.
