Solution:
Note that the remainder when is divided by must be , , or . Then we have that or or . In the first case there are no solutions. In the second case, if , then we must have or as and cannot both be divisible by , and also cannot both have a factor besides . Similarly, in the third case, , so we must have or .
Therefore the we have to check are , , , . These give values of , , , and , of which only and are prime, so the answer is .
