%N Indices of primes in sequence defined by A(0) = 97, A(n) = 10*A(n-1) + 17 for n > 0.
%C Numbers n such that (890*10^n - 17)/9 is prime.
%C Numbers n such that digit 9 followed by n >= 0 occurrences of digit 8 followed by digit 7 is prime.
%C Numbers corresponding to terms <= 528 are certified primes.
