COMMENTS

Also numbers n such that (2*10^n-17)/3 is prime.

The terms 1600, 2175, 2978 and 3649 correspond to primes. - Joao da Silva (zxawyh66(AT)yahoo.com), Oct 3 2005

FORMULA

a(n) = A056658(n) + 1. - Herman Jamke (hermanjamke(AT)fastmail.fm), Jan 01 2008

EXAMPLE

If n = 4 we get ((2*10^4)-17)/3 = 19983/3 = 6661, which is prime.
