Let Q be a fixed odd prime. It appears that with only finitely many exceptions, when there is a term
A280864(k) = Q*p, p prime, then the next term in
A280864,
A280864(k+1), is (Q+1)*p.
The present sequence lists the exceptions in the case Q=5. It is quite likely that there are no further terms.
If Q=3, it appears that there are just five exceptions, 3, 11, 31, 59, 71.
If Q=7, the complete list of exceptions appears to be 3, 5, 7, 11, 23, 37, 43, 73, 79, 83, 181, 191, 193, 197, 199, 211, 227, 229, 233, 239, 251, 257, 263, 269, 277, 1021, 1069, 1103, 1153.
If Q=11, the complete list of exceptions appears to be 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 47, 53, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97, 101, 103, 107, 109, 127, 139, 149, 151, 167, 173, 181, 191, 193, 197, 199, 211, 227, 229, 233, 239, 251, 257, 263, 269, 277, 281, 293, 311, 353, 431, 557, 563, 571, 619, 1289, 1291, 1307, 1499, 1571, 1579, 1583, 1621, 1627, 2011, 2029, 2131, 2207, 2221, 2281, 2287, 2311, 2341, 2347, 2357, 2399, 2551.
