FORMULA
A024770 INTERSECT A119289.
EXAMPLE
2393 belongs to this sequence because 2393, 239, 23 and 2 are all prime; 10*2393 + k, for k = 0 to 9, are all composite.
PROG
(PARI) f=1; for(n=2, 73939133, v=n; t=1; while(isprime(n), if(!Mod(f, n^2)==0, t=t*n); c=n; n=(c-lift(Mod(c, 10)))/10); if(n==0, f=f*t); n=v); s=Set(factor(f)[, 1]); for(k=1, #s, p=s[k]; if(!Mod(f, p^2)==0, print1(p, ", ")));
