Comments

For a given a(n)>0, all the values of k such that (10^k+1)=0 mod prime(n)^2 are given by the sequence a(n)*A005408, i.e. odd multiples of a(n). For example, for n=5, prime(5)=11, a(n)=11, the set of values of k for which (10^k+1)=0 mod 11^2 is 11*A005408=11,33,55,77,99,... All the terms of the sequence a(n) are integer multiples of prime(n) for primes <1000 except for a(93)=243 where prime(93)=487.

Example

a(4)=21 since 21 is least value of k for which (10^k+1)=0 mod 7^2.
