Comments

Concatenations of consecutive entries of A112798. - R. J. Mathar, Feb 09 2009

The old entry with this A-number was a duplicate of A082467.

Examples

			n = 2 = first prime, a(2) = 1.
n = 3 = second prime, a(3) = 2.
n = 4 = 2*2 -> 1,1 -> 11, so a(4) = 11.
n = 6 = 2*3 -> 1,2 -> 12, so a(6) = 12.
n = 12 = 2*2*3 -> 1,1,2 -> 112, so a(12) = 112.
