Smarandache-Kurepa Function


Given the left factorial function

 Sigma(n)=sum_(k=1)^nk!,

SK(p) for p prime is the smallest integer n such that p|1+Sigma(n-1). The first few known values of SK(p) are 2, 4, 6, 6, 5, 7, 7, 12, 22, 16, 55, 54, 42, 24, ... for p=2, 5, 7, 11, 17, 19, 23, 31, 37, 41, 61, 71, 73, 89, .... The function SK(p) doe not exists for p=3, 13, 29, 43, 47, 53, 67, 79, 83, ....
