A056257 Indices of primes in sequence defined by A(0) = 77, A(n) = 10*A(n-1) - 43 for n > 0. 1

%I #32 Jan 14 2023 13:49:27

%S 1,3,7,27,63,723,1785,7275,19461,24213,51777,131391

%N Indices of primes in sequence defined by A(0) = 77, A(n) = 10*A(n-1) - 43 for n > 0.

%C Numbers n such that (650*10^n + 43)/9 is prime.

%C Numbers n such that digit 7 followed by n >= 0 occurrences of digit 2 followed by digit 7 is prime.

%C Numbers corresponding to terms <= 1785 are certified primes. For larger numbers see P. De Geest, PDP Reference Table.

%F a(n) = A082711(n) - 2.

%e 72227 is prime, hence 3 is a term.
