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
k can only begin with 1, 2 or 3 and k mod 10 can only equal 1, 2 or 5. - Robert G. Wilson v, Apr 13 2015
Heuristics suggest that this sequence should be infinite and the sequence with 4 in place of 5 should be finite. The latter sequence contains no terms up to 10^30. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Mar 20 2022
