EXAMPLE

a(1) = 8 because x^8 + x^1 + 1 = (1 + x + x^2)*(1 + x^2 + x^3 + x^5 + x^6) and x^8 + x^2 + 1 = (1 + x + x^4)^2 and x^8 + x^3 + 1 = (1 + x + x^3)*(1 + x + x^2 + x^3 + x^5) and x^8 + x^4 + 1 = (1 + x + x^2)^4 and x^8 + x^5 + 1 = (1 + x^2 + x^3)*(1 + x^2 + x^3 + x^4 + x^5) and x^8 + x^6 + 1 = (1 + x^3 + x^4)^2 and x^8 + x^7 + 1 = (1 + x + x^2)*(1 + x + x^3 + x^4 + x^6).

MATHEMATICA

Do[ k = 1; While[ ToString[ Factor[ x^n + x^k + 1, Modulus -> 2 ]] != ToString[ x^n + x^k + 1 ] && k < n, k++ ]; If[ k == n, Print[ n ]], {n, 2, 234} ]
