Comments

Conjecture: a(n) < prime(n)^2 for n > 0.

a(n) = 1 iff n belongs to A014545.

Inspired by A293756.

Example

a(3) = 1 because 1 + prime(3)#/1 = 1 + 2*3*5 = 31 and 31 is a prime;
a(6) = 2 because 2 + prime(6)#/2 = 2 + 2*3*5*7*11*13/2 = 15017 and that is a prime;
a(7) = 5 because 5 + prime(7)#/5 = 5 + 2*3*5*7*11*13*17/5 = 102107 which is a prime; etc.

Mathematica

f[n_] := Block[{d = 1, p = Fold[Times, 1, Prime@ Range@ n]}, While[ !PrimeQ[d + p/d], d++]; d]; Array[f, 90]
