%N Smallest k such that k(p-1)-1 is positive and divisible by p where p = n-th prime.

%C Also smallest positive k such that the k-th triangular number is divisible by the n-th prime. - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Apr 19 2002

%H T. D. Noe, <a href="/A039915/b039915.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n=1..1000</a>

%F a(n) = p+(-1)^p. - _Juri-Stepan Gerasimov_, May 26 2009

%e a(1)=3 because 3(2-1)-1=2 is divisible by 2.

%t kp[n_]:=Module[{p=Prime[n],k=1},While[!Divisible[(k(k+1))/2,p],k++];k]; Array[kp,60] (* _Harvey P. Dale_, Jun 12 2012 *)

%t a[n_] := Prime[n]-1; a[1]=3; Table[a[n], {n, 1, 58}] (* _Jean-François Alcover_, Dec 26 2012, after _Juri-Stepan Gerasimov_ *)

%Y Cf. A000217, A039678.
