Right Truncatable Semiprimes

Having learned from the experience of creating left truncable semiprimes in the previous post, I won't try creating the longest possible chain associated with a given semiprime. Instead, starting with a given semiprime, digits 0 to 9 will be added to the right of the semiprime until a semiprime is found and the process repeated until none of the digits from 0 to 9 can create a semiprime. Let's start with the first semiprime 6 = 2 x 3 (permalink):

Semiprime            | Factorisation
---------------------------------------------
6                    | 2 * 3
62                   | 2 * 31
622                  | 2 * 311
6227                 | 13 * 479
62277                | 3 * 20759
622771               | 23 * 27077
6227711              | 7 * 889673
62277118             | 2 * 31138559
622771187            | 1889 * 329683
6227711873           | 65267 * 95419
62277118733          | 137 * 454577509
622771187339         | 7 * 88967312477
6227711873391        | 3 * 2075903957797
62277118733913       | 3 * 20759039577971

Next we have 10 = 2 x 5 (permalink):

Semiprime            | Factorisation
---------------------------------------------
10                   | 2 * 5
106                  | 2 * 53
1067                 | 11 * 97
10671                | 3 * 3557
106717               | 13 * 8209
1067173              | 19 * 56167
10671731             | 7 * 1524533
106717315            | 5 * 21343463
1067173151           | 11 * 97015741
10671731513          | 653 * 16342621
106717315135         | 5 * 21343463027
1067173151351        | 523 * 2040484037

Next we have 14 = 2 x 7 (permalink).

Semiprime            | Factorisation
---------------------------------------------
14                   | 2 * 7
141                  | 3 * 47
1411                 | 17 * 83
14111                | 103 * 137
141119               | 11 * 12829
1411193              | 7 * 201599
14111933             | 11 * 1282903
141119339            | 83 * 1700233

Next we have 15 = 3 x 5 (permalink).

Semiprime            | Factorisation
---------------------------------------------
15                   | 3 * 5
155                  | 5 * 31
1555                 | 5 * 311
15553                | 103 * 151
155531               | 43 * 3617

Now we'll try 21 = 3 x 7 (permalink).

Semiprime            | Factorisation
---------------------------------------------
21                   | 3 * 7
213                  | 3 * 71
2138                 | 2 * 1069
21381                | 3 * 7127
213811               | 13 * 16447
2138111              | 61 * 35051
21381117             | 3 * 7127039

Let's try a larger number like 28293.

Semiprime            | Factorisation
---------------------------------------------
28293                | 3 * 9431
282937               | 31 * 9127
2829371              | 1571 * 1801
28293711             | 3 * 9431237
282937111            | 15959 * 17729
2829371119           | 331 * 8547949

Clearly the chains are shorter when creating right truncatable semiprimes.
