COMMENT

For F(n) to be prime, with n>4, it is necessary but not sufficient for n to be prime. Hence after F(4) = 3, every prime F(m) is of the form F(2*n+1) for some n. Every prime divides some Fibonacci number. See also comment to A093062. - Jonathan Vos Post (jvospost2(AT)yahoo.com), Apr 29 2006

EXAMPLE

If n=68 then F(2*n + 1) is a prime with twenty nine digits.
