10^n+7: four PRPs

I've found four probable primes in the range 200001 <= n <= 500000:

Code:
n = 221628, 350071, 371696, 487291.
IMO any other 10^n+7 is composite.

The attached file should "prove" this assertion.

Do you mean "any other" in the specified range? Or n=[1..oo]?

I see the OP has answered graciously.

I would have been tempted to answer "Yes."

I point out If the attached file was supposed to prove that 10^n + 7 is composite for all other n, it would have been big news if it actually did that. (Especially since 10^n + 7 is prime for n = 1, 2, 4, 8, and 9).

A proof that 10^n + 7 is composite for all n greater than 5000000 would also be big news.
