Prime and composite terms in Sloane's sequence A056542
Journal of integer sequences, Tome 8 (2005) no. 3
We give the complete factorization of the first fifty terms of the sequence $a_{n} := na_{n-1}+1$ with $a_{1}$ := 0. We searched the terms $a_{n}$ for primes up to $n=1019$ with the result that only the indexes 4, 8, 18, 20 and 70 provide primes. A final section deals with some conjectures on prime terms in this sequence.
Keywords: factorization, integer sequence, prime number (Concerned with sequences and
