COMMENTS
These terms are primes: a(7), a(19), a(989), a(1187), a(4183); see A267237.
FORMULA
a(n) = (10^(n+1)*(n-1) - n + 10) / 9 (n <= 9).
a(n) = Sum_{i=0...n+1} (n*10^(i*(floor(log(10, n+1)) + 1))) + 1 (n <> 10^k, k > 0), i.e. doesn't give correctly the terms ending with 0.
EXAMPLE
a(3) = 2223 ('3-1' prepended 3 times to '3').
