a(0) through a(12) are squarefree. - Gerald McGarvey, Sep 03 2004
For n>0 a(n) is the determinant of the n X n matrix with elements M[i,j] = 1+Prime[i] if i=j and 1 otherwise. - Alexander Adamchuk, Jun 02 2006

FORMULA
This sequence is the numerators of the prime harmonic numbers + 1, i.e. a(n)/A002110(n) = Sum_{i=0...n} 1/p(i) where p(0) = 1, p(i) is the i-th prime for n > 0 and A002110 are the primorial numbers. - Gerald McGarvey, Sep 03 2004
a(n) = Det[ DiagonalMatrix[ Table[ Prime[i], {i, 1, n} ] ] + 1 ]. - Alexander Adamchuk, Jun 02 2006
EXAMPLE
a(0) = 1
a(1) = 1*2 + A002110(0) = 2 + 1 = 3
a(2) = 3*3 + A002110(1) = 9 + 2 = 11
a(3) = 11*5 + A002110(2) = 55 + 6 = 61
a(4) = 61*7 + A002110(3) = 427 + 30 = 457
a(5) = 457*11 + A002110(4) = 5027 + 210 = 5237
a(6) = 5237*13 + A002110(5) = 68081 + 2310 = 70391
a(7) = 70391*17 + A002110(6) = 1196647 + 30030 = 1226677 - Philippe Deléham, Jun 03 2015
