%N Prime numbers p such that all 4 variables of the equation (p = i * q + r) are prime, with i being the index of p, q the quotient of p/i, and r the remainder of p/i.

%C The other two variables in the equation result from the division of a prime p by its index i, giving quotient q and remainder r. All four of p, i, q, r are required to be prime.

%C For all remaining terms, q (which has become greater than 2) will be an odd prime, and q increases exponentially slowly. And when q is odd, exactly one of i and r will be odd. Consequently, a new term will only occur when r = 2 and both q and i are prime.

%C a(5) > 10^22, if it exists. - _Giovanni Resta_, Oct 02 2019
