%S 0,1,3,24,57,147,372,420,1914,3745,16783,30049,60025,93345

%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.

%F a(n) = A103099(n) - 1.

%e 94447 is a prime, hence 3 is a term.
