COMMENTS
For a(n) <= 10^3, all terms are divisible by 4 except 327 = 3*109.
Primes p such that 4*p is a term are 7, 13, 17, 23, 31, 43, 61, ...
From Thomas Ordowski, Sep 04 2017: (Start)
If p == +-1 (mod 8) and 2^p - 1 is prime, then 4*p is a term.
Conjecture: 4 * A001153(m) for m > 3 is a subsequence.
Primes q such that q-1 is a term are 29, 53, 157, 173, 349, 397, ... (End)
EXAMPLE
28 is a term because gpf(2^28 - 1) == 15 (mod 28).
