Comments

Primes formed from an initial portion 1234... of the infinite string 12345678910111213... of the concatenation of all positive integers (decimal digits of the Champernowne constant).

From Eric W. Weisstein, Jul 15 2013: (Start)

The next terms are too big to display:

a(4) = 123456789...1121131141 (235 digits)

a(5) = 123456789...6896997097 (2804 digits)

a(6) = 12345...13611362136313 (4347 digits)

a(7) = 123456789...9709971097 (37735 digis)

a(8) has more than 37800 digits. (End)

a(8) has more than 140000 digits. - Tyler Busby, Feb 12 2023
