A200065 - OEIS

A200065

Start with n, concatenate its trivial divisors, and repeat until a prime is reached. a(n) = 0 if no prime is ever reached.

COMMENTS

a(33) has 715 digits and is too large to include.

a(A065502(n)) = 0. There are other integers for which a(n) = 0 (i.e., n = 221).

The number (10^270343 - 1)/9 appears 161046 times in this sequence.

All odd primes from A096497 are in the sequence.

EXAMPLE

17 -> {1, 17} = 117 (composite) -> {1, 117} = 1117 (prime), so a(17) = 1117.

MATHEMATICA
