COMMENTS

Next term a(44)=10^348-32 (only probable prime with 15324 digits). a(110)=9999968. If n is divisible by 22 then either a(n)=0 or a(n)=10^x-b for some b<n. - Jens Kruse Andersen (jens.k.a(AT)get2net.dk), Feb 03 2003

EXAMPLE

For n = 7 we have a(7) = 7 so the seven consecutive ascending numbers 7,8,9,10,11,12 and 13 concatenated together gives the smallest possible prime of this form, 78910111213.
