%N Number of points of projective spaces on finite fields.

%C List of integers of form (p^(k*n) - 1)/(p^k - 1) = sigma_k(p^(n-1)) = sum of d^k over all divisors d of p^(n-1), for some prime p and some positive integers k and n. The cardinality of the field is p^k and the dimension of the space is n-1.

%C In other words, numbers that are a repunit in at least one base that is a prime power (A246655). - _Peter Munn_, Oct 21 2020

%e 7 = (2^(1*3) - 1)/(2^1 - 1) so 7 is in the sequence. 10 = (3^(2*2) - 1)/(3^2 - 1) so 10 is in the sequence.
