Examples

			For n=1, there is 1 triangle: {2, 2, 2}, with largest side prime(1) = 2.
For n=2, there are 3 triangles: {2, 2, 3}, {2, 3, 3}, {3, 3, 3}, with largest side prime(2) = 3.
For n=4, there are 6 triangles :{2, 7, 7}, {3, 5, 7}, {3, 7, 7}, {5, 5, 7}, {5, 7, 7}, {7, 7, 7}, with largest side prime(4) = 7. Total = 6 = a(4).
For n=5, largest side = prime(n) = 11. Triangles are {{2, 11, 11}, {3, 11, 11}, {5, 7, 11}, {5, 11, 11}, {7, 7, 11}, {7, 11, 11}, {11, 11, 11}}. Total = 7 = a(5).
