| Apparently there are no such primes > 373.
Comments from Jean-Marc Falcoz (jeanmarcfalcoz(AT)vtxnet.ch), Jan 11 2009 (Begin): This is correct.
There can't be any more terms, because they must necessarily be of the form
23737373733737... but the substring 237 is composite
or 273737373... but 273 is composite
or 5373737373... but 537 is composite
or 5737373737... but 573 is composite
or 37373737373... but 3737 is composite
or 7373737373... but 737 is composite
No other form is possible, otherwise, if the digit 2 or 5 is anywhere inside
or at the end of the number, one substring-number is even or divisible by 5,
and furthermore, there can't be twin digits, because one substring-number
would then be divisible by 11.
Obviously, the digits 0, 1, 4, 6, 8, 9 can't appear anywhere in a term of the sequence. (End)
Subsequence of A024770 (right-truncatable primes), A068669 (noncomposite numbers in which all substrings are noncomposite). Supersequence of A202263 (primes in which all substrings and reversal substrings are primes). - Jaroslav Krizek, Jan 28 2012
