COMMENTS

This is to categorize prime signatures such that p^a*q^b*r^c ... +1 is composite, p,q,r are arbtrarily chosen primes. example: Prefect odd powers + 1 is always composite. Are there other examples?exceptions like 3 and 5 are to be ignored.

EXAMPLE

8 = 2^3 is a member as 8 has a prime signature p^3 and all numbers of the form p^3+1 are composite.

9 is also a member though 2^2 +1 = 5 is a prime but for all odd primes p^2 +1 is even.

216 = 2^3*3^3 is a member because p^3*q^3+1 is always divisible by pq+1.
