COMMENTS

We use 2*n+1 consecutive primes rather than n because the numerator of the sum of reciprocals of an even number of odd primes is even.

The numerators are in A354221.

EXAMPLE

a(3) = 5 because the sum of reciprocals of 2*3 + 1 = 7 primes starting with 5 is 1/5 + 1/7 + 1/11 + 1/13 + 1/17 + 1/19 + 1/23 = 24749279/37182145, and 24749279 is prime.

MAPLE

f:= proc(n) local i, k, v;

for k from 1 do

v:= numer(add(1/ithprime(i), i=k..k+2*n));

if isprime(v) then return ithprime(k) fi

end proc:

map(f, [$1..70]);
