This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

There is only one value of k that can work, and it is n/2. Thus, all members of the sequence are even.
Even numbers n such that 2*(n-1)!-1 is prime.
(Odd members of A076133) + 1. - Robert Israel, Aug 11 2016

Examples

			(4!-k)/(4-k) is prime for some k (namely, k = 2). Thus, 4 is a member of this sequence.
