COMMENTS
For p(1) = 2, 10^x - 2 is divisible by 2 for all x > 0 so a(1) = 0.
For p(3) = 5, 10^x - 5 is divisible by 5 for all x > 0 so a(3) = 0.
For all prime(i) of the form 3*k+1, 10^x-prime(i) is divisible by 3 so a(i) = 0.
For n = 913, prime(n) = 7127, if x exists then x > 16000.

EXAMPLE
10^1 - 3 = 7 is prime, so a(2) = 1 as 3 = prime(2).
10^1 - 11 is composite, 10^2 - 11 = 89 is prime, so a(5) = 2 as 11 = prime(5).
