You asked one like this before. Each time we muliply by 99,193, the one's digit gets multiplied by 3, so it goes (starting from the 1st power) 3,9,7,1,3,9,7,1,3,9,7,1... Since 4131/4 has a remainder of 3, the result ends with 7.

Now, find the largest prime number there is, or prove that they go on forever.
