The sequence is completely can be described by applying the principle of inclusion-exclusion in the following manner. : Sequence includes all multiples of 1! and 2! (odd and even numbers), except that it excludes from those the multiples of 3! (6), except that it includes the multiples of 4! (24), except that it excludes the multiples of 5! (120), except that it includes the multiples of 6! (720), except that it excludes the multiples of 7! (5040) (and also those of 8! and 9!) because here 8+1 = 9 is the first odd composite), except that it includes the multiples of 10!, but excludes the multiples of 11!, but includes the multiples of 12!, but excludes the multiples of 13! (and also of 14! and 15!, because 14-16 are all composites), but includes the multiples of 16!, and so on, ad infinitum.

Antti Karttunen: Motivation for this sequence: Wilson's theorem.
A Dirichlet GF for this, anyone?
See also the complementary pair A232744-A232745 which should be easier.

Equally: Numbers n for which two plus {the number of the trailing zeros in their factorial base representation A007623(n) } + 2 is a prime.

Equally: numbers Numbers n in whose factorial base representation A007623for which A055881(n) there are prime-2 trailing zerosis one of the terms of A006093.
