%N Indices of records in A067849.
%C The corresponding record values are 2,4,6,7,8,9,10,12,13,14.
%C From _David A. Corneth_, Nov 10 2018: (Start)
%C Terms a(n) are of the form 3*k+2 for n > 1.
%C If 2^k - 1 is composite then a(n) is not divisible by any prime factor of 2^k-1 for n > k. So for example, gcd(a(n), 105) = 1 for n > 5. (End)
%C From _Glen Whitney_, Sep 14 2022: (Start)
%C Similarly to Corneth's observations, modulo any prime p, any residue for a(n) of the form 2^k - 1 mod p is forbidden for n greater than or equal to the number of such residues; for example a(n) may not be congruent to 0, 1, or 3 mod 7 for n >= 3.
%C For n > 2, if a(n) appears in this sequence, 2a(n) + 1 must appear in A057331. (End)
%e 2 is a term because A067849(2) = 4 > A067849(1) = 2.
%e 44 is a term because A067849(44) = 6 > A067869(2) = 4.
