COMMENTS

Smallest k such that A000001(k) = prime(n), or 0 if no such k exists.

It seems that there is no order for which the number of groups is 31, 59, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97, 101, 103, 109, 127, 139,...

Above comment is incorrect. According to the Conway article, every n <= 10000000 is the number of groups of order k for some k. So all the 0 entries above are wrong, but we do not necessarily know the true value. - Eric M. Schmidt, Sep 14 2014

EXAMPLE

a(6)= 56 because prime(6) = 13 => there exists 13 groups of order 56.
