%N a(0) = 1, a(n) = 5 + Product_{i=0..n-1} a(i) for n > 0.

%C This is the special case k=5 of sequences with exact mutual k-residues. In general, a(1)=k+1 and a(n)=min{m | m>a(n-1), mod(m,a(i))=k, i=1,...,n-1}. k=1 gives Sylvester's sequence A000058 and k=2 Fermat sequence A000215. - _Seppo Mustonen_, Sep 04 2005
