A040017 Prime 3 followed by unique period primes (the period r of 1/p is not shared with any other prime) of the form A019328(r)/gcd(A019328(r),r) in order (periods r are given in A051627). 17

COMMENTS
Prime p=3 is the only known example of a unique period prime such that A019328(r)/gcd(A019328(r),r) = p^k with k > 1 (cf. A323748). It is plausible to assume that no other such prime exists. Under this (unproved) assumption, the current sequence lists all unique period primes in order and represents a sorted version of A007615. - Max Alekseyev, Oct 14 2022

FORMULA
For n >= 2, a(n) = A019328(r) / gcd(A019328(r), r), where r = A051627(n). - Max Alekseyev, Oct 14 2022
EXAMPLE
The decimal expansion of 1/101 is 0.00990099..., having a period of 4 and it is the only prime with that period.
