COMMENTS
For k > 0, numbers k such that the digits 12 followed by k occurrences of the digit 7 is prime (see Example section).
a(21) > 2*10^5.
EXAMPLE
2 is in this sequence because (115*10^2 - 7)/9 = 1277 is prime.
Initial terms and associated primes:
a(1) = 1, 127;
a(2) = 2, 1277;
a(3) = 14, 1277777777777777;
a(4) = 26, 1277777777777777777777777777; etc.
