COMMENTS
Conjecture: (i) a(n) exists for any n > 0. Moreover, a(n) does not exceed n*(n-1)/2 if n > 2.
(ii) For each positive integer n, there is an integer m > 0 with prime(m*n) == -1 (mod m+n). Moreover, we may require that m does not exceed n*(n-1)/2 if n > 2.

EXAMPLE
a(2) = 4 since prime(2*4) = 19 is congruent to 1 modulo 2 + 4 = 6.
a(5146) = 593626 since prime(5146*593626) = prime(3054799396) = 73226821741 is congruent to 1 modulo 5146 + 593626 = 598772.
