%N Indices of primes in sequence defined by A(0) = 47, A(n) = 10*A(n-1) + 27 for n > 0.

%C Numbers n such that (450*10^n - 27)/9 is prime.

%C Numbers n such that digit 4 followed by n >= 0 occurrences of digit 9 followed by digit 7 is prime.

%C Numbers corresponding to terms <= 965 are certified primes.
