Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

a(1)=1. a(n) = number of earlier terms of the sequence which when added to n produce a composite number.

EXAMPLE
Adding 7 to the first 6 terms of the sequence gives [8,7,8,8,10,9]. Of these terms, five are composite, so a(7) = 5.
