%N Numbers n such that 2^n - 1 is a semiprime (A001358).

%C Subsequence of A000430. Apart from 4, 9, and 49 composites in this sequence are greater than 1.9e7. - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Jun 05 2013

%C 1427 and 1487 are also terms. 1277 is the only remaining unknown below them. - _Charles R Greathouse IV_, Jun 05 2013

%C Among the known terms only 11, 23, 83 and 131 are in A002515, that is, they are the only known values for n such that (2^n - 1)/(2*n + 1) is prime. - _Jianing Song_, Jan 22 2019
