Prime in this sequence: a(3) = 1117, a(4) = 1319, a(5) = 1723, a(7) = 3137, a(15) = 8389, a(16) = 97103, a(17) = 101107, a(21) = 151157, a(22) = 157163, a(23) = 167173, a(27) = 223229. Semiprimes in this sequence: a(1) = 511 = 7 x 73, a(2) = 713 = 23 * 31, a(6) = 2329 = 17 * 137, a(8) = 3743 = 19 * 197, a(11) = 5359 = 23 * 233, a(12) = 6167 = 7 * 881, a(13) = 6773 = 13 * 521, a(14) = 7379 = 47 x 157, a(18) = 103109 = 23 * 4483, a(20) = 131137 = 71 * 1847, a(26) = 193199 = 43 * 4493, ... Note that a(9) = 4147 = 11 * 13 * 29 and a(19) = 107113 = 43 * 47 * 53 are the products of three primes with the same number of digits.
