%N Numbers k such that (47*10^k + 133)/9 is prime.

%C For k > 1, numbers k such that the digit 5 followed by k-2 occurrences of the digit 2 followed by the digits 37 is prime (see Example section).

%C a(28) > 2*10^5.

%e 4 is in this sequence because (47*10^4 + 133)/9 = 52237 is prime.

%e Initial terms and associated primes:

%e a(1) = 1, 67;

%e a(2) = 3, 5237;

%e a(3) = 4, 52237;

%e a(4) = 6, 5222237;

%e a(5) = 7, 52222237; etc.
