For k > 1, numbers k such that the digit 6 followed by k-2 occurrences of the digit 8 followed by the digits 01 is prime (see Example section).
a(22) > 2*10^5.
EXAMPLE
2 is in this sequence because (62*10^2 - 791)/9 = 601 is prime.
Initial terms and associated primes:
a(1) = 2, 601;
a(2) = 7, 68888801;
a(3) = 10, 68888888801;
a(4) = 34, 68888888888888888888888888888888801;
a(5) = 53, 688888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888801; etc.
