A386929 a(n) is the least base b in {2,...,10} such that the base-b expansion of n, when read as a decimal integer, is prime; a(n) = 0 if no such base exists.

%N A386929 a(n) is the least base b in {2,...,10} such that the base-b expansion of n, when read as a decimal integer, is prime; a(n) = 0 if no such base exists.
%C A386929 There are infinitely many zeros since if n is a multiple of 2520, then each base-b expansion ends with digit 0.
%F A386929 a(2520*n) = 0.
%e A386929 a(10) = 3 since 10 in base 3 is "101" and 101 is prime; base 2 is "1010" -> 1010 composite.
%e A386929 a(11) = 4 since base 4 gives "23" -> 23 is prime; base 2 "1011" -> 1011 composite; base 3 "102" -> 102 composite.
%e A386929 a(23) = 2 since base 2 gives "10111" -> 10111 is prime.
%t A386929 a[n_] := Block[{m}, Do[m = FromDigits[IntegerDigits[n, b], 10]; If[PrimeQ[m], Return[b]], {b, 2, 10}]; 0]
