The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS)

The OEIS is supported by the many generous donors to the OEIS Foundation.

Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS

Numbers n such that (640*10^n + 71)/9 is prime.

Numbers n such that digit 7 followed by n >= 0 occurrences of digit 1 followed by digit 9 is prime.

Numbers corresponding to terms <= 172 are certified primes.

FORMULA

a(n) = A103051(n) - 1.

EXAMPLE

71119 is prime, hence 3 is a term.

PROG

(PARI) a=79; for(n=0, 1000, if(isprime(a), print1(n, ", ")); a=10*a-71)

(PARI) for(n=0, 1000, if(isprime((640*10^n+71)/9), print1(n, ", ")))
