COMMENTS

Let S(n)=sum_{i=0,..n-1} (i!)^2. Note that 6 divides S(n) for n>1. For prime p=20879, p divides S(p-1). Hence p divides S(n) for all n >= p-1 and all prime values of S(n)/6 are for n < p-1.

The next term (a(7)) has 96 digits. The largest term (a(9)) has 288 digits. - Harvey P. Dale, Aug 31 2021
