%S 2,5,11,13,23,61,83,421,1039,1511,31237,60413,113177,135647,258413

%N Numbers k such that 6^k - 5^k is prime.

%C The 809- and 1176-digit numbers associated with the terms 1039 and 1511 have been certified prime with Primo. - _Rick L. Shepherd_, Nov 15 2002

%e 2 is in the sequence because 6^2 - 5^2 = 36 - 25 = 11, which is prime.

%e 3 is not in the sequence because 6^3 - 5^3 = 216 - 125 = 91 = 7 * 13, which is not prime.
