Comments

Number of primes having n digits and equal to the difference of two consecutive seventh powers (x+1)^7 - x^7 = 7x(x+1)(x^2+x+1)^2+1 (A121618). Values of x = A121619 - 1. Sequence of number of primes having n digits and of the form (x+1)^7 - x^7 have similar characteristics to similar sequences for natural primes (A006879), cuban primes (A221792) and primes of the form (x+1)^5 - x^5 (A221847).
