The n-th Catalan number C(n) = (2*n)!/(n!*(n+1)!).
The next term, a(9), has 66 digits which is too large to display in data section.
The 102nd term, a(102), having 992 digits, is the last term in b-file.
a(103) has 1021 digits, hence not included in b-file.
Intersection of A000108 and A165451.

EXAMPLE
16796 = (2*10)!/(10!*(10+1)!) is 10th Catalan number: 1!+6!+7!+9!+6! = 369361 which is prime.
263747951750360 = (2*28)!/(28!*(28+1)!) is 28th Catalan number: 2!+6!+3!+7!+4!+7!+9!+5!+1!+7!+5!+0!+3!+6!+0! = 379721 which is prime.
