NOTATION: $P(x)$ stands for the product of all primes which do not exceed real $x$; e.g. $P(10)=210$.
QUESTION: Given any real $x\ge 3$, compute or estimate the smallest natural number $n:=n(x)\ge 3$ such the remainder of the division of $n$ by any odd prime $p\le x$ is $1$ or $2$ (it may be any combination of $1$s and $2$s).
In particular, improve upon my simple theorem below, and still better upon its consecutive improvements provided by the MO participants.
THEOREM $$ n(x)\ > \ \sqrt{P(x)} $$
EXAMPLEs (small calculations):
- $n(3) = 4$
- $n(5) = 7$
- $n(7) = 16$
REMARK (warning): First I talk about all primes (see NOTATION), then about odd primes (see QUESTION).
