%N Indices of primes in sequence defined by A(0) = 13, A(n) = 10*A(n-1) + 43 for n > 0.

%C Numbers n such that (160*10^n - 43)/9 is prime.

%C Numbers n such that digit 1 followed by n >= 0 occurrences of digit 7 followed by digit 3 is prime.

%C Numbers corresponding to terms <= 184 are certified primes.
