COMMENTS
For k > 1, numbers k such that the digit 2 followed by k-2 occurrences of the digit 3 followed by the digits 99 is prime (see Example section).
a(26) > 2*10^5.
EXAMPLE
4 is in this sequence because (7*10^4 + 197)/3 = 23399 is prime.
Initial terms and associated primes:
a(1) = 1, 89;
a(2) = 3, 2399;
a(3) = 4, 23399;
a(4) = 6, 2333399;
a(5) = 7, 23333399; etc.
