With x = (10^21 - 7)/69 = 14492753623188405797, we have
a(1) = 7*x*10 + 7, a(2) = 8*x*10 + 8, a(3) = 9*x*10 + 9.
For consistency with A146088 (similar for ratio k=2) and others, where an initial a(0) = 0 has been added, the same could be considered here. It would be compatible with the formula given for a(3k). - M. F. Hasler, May 03 2025

FORMULA
From Robert Israel, Aug 22 2017: (Start)
a(3k-2) = 7(10^(22k)-1)/69.
a(3k-1) = 8(10^(22k)-1)/69.
a(3k) = 9(10^(22k)-1)/69.
a(n+6) = (10^22+1) a(n+3) - 10^22 a(n).
G.f.: x*(1304347826086956521739*x^2 + 1159420289855072463768*x + 1014492753623188405797)/(10^22*x^6 - (10^22+1)*x^3 + 1). (End)
EXAMPLE
b = 101449275362318840579.
a(1) = b*10 + 7,
7*a(1) = 7101449275362318840579 = 7*10^21 + b.
