%N Numbers n such that (n^2 + n + 41) / 43 is prime.

%C There exists an infinity of integers of the form (m^2 + m + 41) / 43 if we consider the numbers m of the form m = 1 + 43k => (m^2 + m + 41)/43 = k(43k+3)+1. It's highly probable that a(n) is infinite.

%C From _Robert Israel_, Jul 09 2017: (Start)

%C All terms == 1 or 41 (mod 43).

%C Bunyakovsky's conjecture implies there are infinitely many terms in both these classes. (End)
