Always divisible by n, hence never prime.
FORMULA
a(n) = n + sum(i*(n^(n+1-i)), i=1..n-1).
EXAMPLE
a(2) = 110 (base 2) = 6 (base 10) = A047778(2).
a(3) = 1210 (base 3) = 48 (base 10) = A048435(3).
a(4) = 12310 (base 4) = 436 (base 10) = A048436(4).
a(5) = 123410 (base 5) = 4855 (base 10) = A048437(5).
a(11) = 123456789A10 (base 11) = 345227121316 (base 10).
a(16) = 123456789ABCDE10 (base 16) = 20988295479420645136 (base 10) = A048447(16).
