Conjecture: lim n -> infinity a(n)/n = C exists and 4 < C < 9/2. There seems to be a sequence of primes p such that p^2 never divides numbers of the form 2^x + 1: the first few are 2, 7, 23, 31. - Benoit Cloitre, Aug 20 2002
That sequence is A072936. - Robert Israel, Nov 20 2015
The first case where 2^n + 1 is divisible by a square that is coprime to n is n = 182 (where 2^182 + 1 is divisible by 1093^2). - Robert Israel, Jul 07 2014
From Robert Israel, Nov 20 2015: (Start)
Numbers n such that gcd(n, 2^n + 1) > 1 or n = k m where k is odd and 2 m is the order of 2 modulo a Wieferich prime. See link "When p^2 divides 2^n + 1".
If n is in the sequence, then so is k*n for any odd k. (End)
The sequence consists of all odd multiples of { 3, 10, 55, 68, 78, 182, 301, 406, 666, ... }. - M. F. Hasler, Mar 06 2018

FORMULA
For any a(n+1) - a(n) <= 6 since numbers of form 3^a*(2k+1) a > 0, k >= 0, are in the sequence (2^(3*(2k+1) + 1 is divisible by 9). So are numbers of the form 20k + 10 since 2^(20k+10) + 1 is divisible by 25, 110k + 55 since 2^(110k+55) + 1 is divisible by 11^2, 78 + 156k since 2^(156k+78) + 1 is divisible by 13^2 ... - Benoit Cloitre, Aug 20 2002
EXAMPLE
9 is here because 2^9 + 1 = 513 is divisible by 9.
99 is here because 2^99 + 1 = 3^3*19*67*683*5347*20857*242099935645987 is divisible by 9, i.e. is not squarefree.
