%N Indices of primes in sequence defined by A(0) = 89, A(n) = 10*A(n-1) - 51 for n > 0.

%C Numbers n such that (750*10^n + 51)/9 is prime.

%C Numbers n such that digit 8 followed by n >= 0 occurrences of digit 3 followed by digit 9 is prime.

%C Numbers corresponding to terms <= 847 are certified primes.
