COMMENTS

Also numbers n such that 10^n - 3 is prime.

If n is in the sequence (10^n-3 is prime) and m=3*(10^n-3) then phi(m)=reversal(m), i.e., m is in the sequence A069215. - Farideh Firoozbakht (mymontain(AT)yahoo.com), Dec 25 2004.

No further terms for n<=407197, see Kamada link.

EXAMPLE

10^2 - 3 = 97 is a prime number (in fact all terms are the largest less than 10^n).

MATHEMATICA

m = 1000; For[n = 1, n < m, If[PrimeQ[10^n - 3], Print[n]]; n++]
