%N a(2) = 0, and otherwise a(n) is the least multiple of prime(n+1) whose decimal representation ends with that of prime(n).

%C Inspired by the 134th problem of Project Euler (see link).

%C a(n) > 1 iff n != 2.

%C Some particular terms:

%C a(3) = 35 is the concatenation of prime(2) and prime(3),

%C a(4) = 77 is the palindrome prime(4) and prime(4),

%C a(13) = 3741 is the concatenation of prime(12) and prime(13),

%C a(25) = 9797 is the concatenation of prime(25) and prime(25).

%H Project Euler, <a href="https://projecteuler.net/problem=134">Problem 134: Prime pair connection</a>.

%e For prime(2) = 3 and prime(3) = 5, there does not exist any integer that ends with 3 and is divisible by 5, hence a(2)=0 and it is the only term equal to 0.

%e For prime(5) = 11 and prime(6) = 13, 611 ends with 11 and 611=13*47 is divisible by 13, and no integer < 611 satisfies these two conditions, so a(5)= 611.
