2022 Dutch Mathematical Olympiad, 1

A positive integer n is called [i]primary divisor [/i] if for every positive divisor $d$ of $n$ at least one of the numbers $d - 1$ and $d + 1$ is prime. For example, $8$ is divisor primary, because its positive divisors $1$, $2$, $4$, and $8$ each differ by $1$ from a prime number ($2$, $3$, $5$, and $7$, respectively), while $9$ is not divisor primary, because the divisor $9$ does not differ by $1$ from a prime number (both $8$ and $10$ are composite). Determine the largest primary divisor number.
