However if one was going to search for a large prime in this form it would be wise to run this very quick check before hand. As in a matter of seconds one can tell that $(90;1000000076)+1$ may be prime, but $(90;1000000077)+1$ definately is not!
This is cute, as instead of cheking a number a billion digits long, we can check a number log_{10}(digits) in a linear way.
\section{Improving the algorithm...}
So from the table above in the first $22$ concatenations, we can see $2,3,9,15,...$ are prime.
Of course in the spirit of OEIS: we have $A054416$ which will continues that sequence for a little longer as 2, 3, 9, 15, 26, 33, 146, 320, 1068, 1505...
However the algorithm above gives the following as prime candidates $0,1,2,3,5,6,8,9,11,14,15,18,20,21,23... may be prime.
Well, the real prime numbers are a subset of that which is good to start with. Checking also 26,33,146,320,1068 and 1505 from the OEIS:sequence are also thrown in as potential primes, by the algorithm which is another good sign. But there are many more which aren't prime. Why?
They don't feature a divisor of the form $(90;;n)+1$. Which was the main feature of the algorithm to rule numbers out. False numbers $0,1,5,6,8,11,14,18,20,21,23$. \\
Disregard $0$ as a special case. \\
Appears failure dues to very large primes, usually a product of two for example $n=14$, has 154083204930662557781201849 occurring.
