%N Smallest number k such that k^n -1 is divisible by an n-th power. a(n) = A088031(n)^(1/n).
%C For 2 < n < 18, if n is odd then a(n) = 2^n+1 and if n is even then a(n) = 2^(n-A007814(n))-1. - _David Wasserman_, Jun 21 2005
%C The above also holds for 19 < n < 24. If true for n >= 25 then a(25..29) = 33554433, 33554431, 134217729, 67108863, 536870913. - _Lars Blomberg_, Feb 09 2016
%e a(4) = 81 = 3^4 and 81-1 = 80 == 0 (mod 2^4).
%Y Cf. A088031.
