Prime p divides a(p). Prime p divides a(p-2) for p>3. p^2 divides a(p-2) for prime p=7. p^2 divides a(p^2-2) for prime p except p=3. p^3 divides a(p^2-2) for prime p=7. p^3 divides a(p^3-2) for prime p>3. p^4 divides a(p^3-2) for prime p=7. p^4 divides a(p^4-2) for prime p>3. p^5 divides a(p^3-2) for prime p=7. It appears that p^k divides a(p^k-2) for prime p>3 and 7^(k+1) divides a(7^k-2) for integer k>0.
