Comments

Up to n = 10000, 1145 of the first 1228 odd primes appear as fixed points of a(n).

Examples

			For n = 1, 5*T(1) = 0, and a(1) = 1 is the smallest divisor of 0 not yet in the sequence.
For n = 3, 5*T(3) = 15, and a(3) = 3 is a fixed point and the smallest divisor of 15 not yet in the sequence.
For n = 71, 5*T(71) = 2485, and a(71) = 71 is a fixed point and the smallest divisor of 2485 not yet in the sequence.
