The base-8 representation of a term 8^i + 8^j - 1 has base-8 digital sum = 1 + 7*j == 1 (mod 7).

In base-8 representation the first terms are 107, 10077, 100077, 1000007, 1007777, 1077777, 10007777, 107777777, 1000777777, 10000000007, 1000007777777, 10000000000077, 100000000007777, ...

Numbers m that satisfy m = 8^i + 8^j - 1 with odd i and j are not terms. Example: 33279 = 8^5 + 8^3 - 1 = 3*11093.

Examples

			a(1) = 71, since 71 = 8^2 + 8^1 - 1 is prime.
a(2) = 4159, since 4159 = 8^4 + 8^2 - 1 is prime.
