a(n) = -1 when n = 7*k because no matter how many 7's are appended to n, the resulting number is always divisible by 7 and therefore cannot be prime.
a(n) = -1 when n = 15873*k + 891, 1261, 2889, 3263, 3300, 7810, 8917, 9812, 12617, 13024, 14615 or 15066, because n followed by any positive number, m say, of 7's is divisible by at least one of the primes {3,11,13,37}.
Similarly,
a(n) = -1 when n = 11111111*k + 964146, 1207525, 2342974, 3567630, 7525789, 8134540, 8591231 or 9641467 by primes {11,73,101,137};
