%N Composite numbers k which divide A001045(k-1).

%C Also composite numbers k such that (2^k - 2)/3 + 1 == 2^k - 1 == 1 (mod k).

%C An equivalent definition of this sequence: pseudoprimes to base 2 that are not divisible by 3. - _Arkadiusz Wesolowski_, Nov 15 2011

%C Conjecture: these are composites k such that 2^M(k-1) == -1 (mod M(k)^2 + M(k) + 1), where M(k) = 2^k - 1. - _Amiram Eldar_ and _Thomas Ordowski_, Dec 19 2019

%C These are composites k such that 2^(m-1) == 1 (mod (m+1)^6 - 1), where m = 2^k - 1. - _Thomas Ordowski_, Sep 17 2023
