COMMENTS
Prime(n) is all zeros followed by prime(n). This is all fives followed by prime(n).
The next sequence in this progression, "Smallest prime of the form: all sixes followed by prime(n), a(n)> prime(n)", begins 0, 0, 0, 67, then (5) = 2*(10^5039 - 1)/3 - 55, a number that consists of 5037 sixes followed by 2 ones. This does not fit into the constraints of the OEIS. N. J. A. Sloane, Nov 20 2005, based on information from Hans Havermann.
The large number is quickly certified prime by PARI's APRCL test: isprime(555...513,2) -> 1. - Hagen von Eitzen, Jun 17 2009
Next term is 5*(10^184 - 1)/9 + 6, containing 184 digits, and is too large to include here. - Arkadiusz Wesolowski, Jun 03 2013
EXAMPLE
a(5) = 55511, as 511, 5511 are composite, prime(5) = 11.
All positive numbers of the form 5*(10^k - 1)/9 - 18 have a factor in the covering set {3, 7, 13, 37}, so a(12) = 0. - Arkadiusz Wesolowski, Jun 03 2013
