Corresponding primes are: 17, 19, 23, 43, 71, 107, 421, 8521, 21521, 21827591, 49579091, 295540261, 42061737041, 104463111041, ...

a(36) > 50000.

Terms > 49 correspond to probable primes.

Examples

			11!6 + 16 = 11*5 + 16 = 71 is prime, so 11 is in the sequence.

Programs

Mathematica

MultiFactorial[n_, k_] := If[n < 1, 1, n*MultiFactorial[n - k, k]];
Select[Range[0, 50000], PrimeQ[MultiFactorial[#, 6] + 16] &]
Select[Range[1000],PrimeQ[Times@@Range[#,1,-6]+16]&] (* The program generates the first 24 terms of the sequence. To generate more, increase the Range constant. *)
