COMMENTS

Part of sequence A112129

Each term is a multiple of 70. The proof is straightforward. Example step showing n <> 3 (mod 7): If n==3 (mod 7), then (3^2)*n+1 == 9*3+1 == 0 (mod 7); i.e., for j=2 (3^j)*n+1 is never prime in this case. A corresponding j value with 0<=j<=7 can be found for each modulus (2,5,7) and nonzero residue such that (3^j)*n+1 is composite (a multiple of that modulus) so that only n==0 (mod 2), n==0 (mod 5) and n==0 (mod 7) remain, hence n==0 (mod 70). - Rick L.
