This asks for primes p which are a triangular number divided by 21, or, 2*3*7*p=k*(k+1) for some k. Matching factors shows that the sequence is complete [R. J. Mathar, Aug 15 2010]
Original definition: Primes of the form : 1/x+2/x+3/x+4/x+5/x+6/x+7/x+..., x=21.
The corresponding m-values are m=14, 21, 41, 42 (cf. A154296). It is clear that for m>42, A000217(m)/21 = m(m+1)/42 cannot be a prime. - M. F. Hasler, Dec 31 2012
