COMMENTS
For k > 1, numbers k such that the digit 5 followed by k-2 occurrences of the digit 2 followed by the digits 77 is prime (see Example section).
a(25) > 2*10^5.
EXAMPLE
2 is in this sequence because (47*10^2 + 493)/9 = 577 is prime.
Initial terms and associated primes:
a(1) = 1, 107;
a(2) = 2, 577;
a(3) = 7, 52222277;
a(4) = 10, 52222222277;
a(5) = 16, 52222222222222277; etc.
