For information about multifactorial primes please see Chris Caldwell's glossary page on Multifactorial Primes and his list of the top 20 Primorial and Factorial Primes.
Ken Davis has kindly agreed to keep up this page at his Multifactorial Prime Page. New data will be updated only on his site.
Multifactorials are of the form forms n!!+/-1, n!!!+/-1, n!!!!+/-1 ...
We shall call these 2-factorial plus or minus one,
