%N Positive integers k for which 1 + 6*2^(k+2) divides the Fermat number 1 + 2^2^k.

%C On Keller's linked page, to find the terms, you run through the tables and find all rows with k = 3 and with n exactly 3 greater than m, then that m belongs to this sequence. - _Jeppe Stig Nielsen_, Dec 04 2018

%H Wilfrid Keller, <a href="http://www.prothsearch.com/fermat.html">Prime factors k*2^n + 1 of Fermat numbers F_m</a>

%e a(1)=38 because 38 is the smallest positive integer k for which 1 + 6*2^(k+2) divides the Fermat number 1 + 2^2^k.
