%N Sierpiński numbers of the first kind: n^n + 1.

%C Sierpiński primes of the form n^n + 1 are {2,5,257,...} = A121270. The prime p divides a((p-1)/2) for p = {5,7,13,23,29,31,37,47,53,61,71,...} = A003628 Primes congruent to {5, 7} mod 8. p^2 divides a((p-1)/2) for prime p = {29,37,3373,...}. - _Alexander Adamchuk_, Sep 11 2006

%C n divides a(n-1) for even n, or 2n divides a(2n-1). a(2n-1)/(2n) = A124899(n) = {1, 7, 521, 102943, 38742049, 23775972551, 21633936185161, 27368368148803711, 45957792327018709121, ...}. 2^n divides a(2^n-1). A014566[2^n - 1] / 2^n = A081216[2^n - 1] = A122000[n] = {1, 7, 102943, 27368368148803711, 533411691585101123706582594658103586126397951, ...}. p+1 divides a(p) for prime p. a(p)/(p+1) = A056852[n] = {7, 521, 102943, 23775972551, 21633936185161, ...}. p^2 divides a((p-1)/2) for prime p = {29, 37, 3373} = A121999(n). - _Alexander Adamchuk_, Nov 12 2006
