%N Indices of primes in sequence defined by A(0) = 97, A(n) = 10*A(n-1) - 23 for n > 0.
%C Numbers n such that (850*10^n + 23)/9 is a prime.
%C Numbers n such that digit 9 followed by n >= 0 occurrences of digit 4 followed by digit 7 is a prime.
%C Numbers corresponding to terms <= 420 are certified primes.
%C a(15) > 10^5. - _Robert Price_, Nov 14 2015
