[seqfan] Re: What in the next one? [primes isolated from squarefrees]

[Neil Sloane]

Chris, what was the definition of this one? 2, 17, 727, 47527, 29002021
(note typo above), 494501773?

Are you looking at the squarefree nonprimes S, and  asking
for the smallest prime p such that the nearest element of S differs from p
by at least n (starting at n=1)?
No, that doesn't work. I'm having trouble seeing how you got 2 and then 17
rather than 5 or 7.

Could you please submit it to the OEIS, and also the other one you mention (1,
17, 26, 2526, 5876126, 8061827, ...)?

Thanks!

Best regards
Neil
