FORMULA

a(n) = A031131(n)*ceiling(A000040(n)/A031131(n)). - R. J. Mathar, Aug 31 2007

EXAMPLE

Between the primes 19 and 29 is the composite 20 and 20 is divisible by (29-19)=10. So 20 is in the sequence.

MATHEMATICA

For[n = 1, n < 50, n++, s := Prime[n] + 1; While[Floor[s/(Prime[n + 2] -Prime[n])] != s/(Prime[n + 2] - Prime[n]), s++ ]; Print[s]] (* Stefan Steinerberger, Feb 10 2006 *)
