COMMENT

If a prime p divides a term a(k) of this sequence, then k must be less than the period of the sequence mod p. Hence these primes are found by computing A073817(k) mod p for increasing k and stopping when either A073817(k) mod p = 0 or the end of the period is reached. Interestingly, for all of these primes, the period of the sequence A073817(k) mod p appears to be (p-1)/d, where d is a small integer.
