COMMENTS
Prime numbers in this sequence are 3, 5, and 13. These are primes p with primitive root 2 (A001122) such that gpf(2^(p-1)-1) = p.
The set of all numbers of this sequence is probably also finite and complete (all terms are on the list).
The odd terms of this sequence up to 4095 = 2^12-1 are exactly the divisors of this number (A003524) except 1 and 7. [Edited by M. F. Hasler, Apr 17 2020]
Conjecture: all odd terms {3, 5, 9, 13, 15, 21, 35, 39, 45, 63, 65, 91, 105, 117, 195, 273, 315, 455, 585, 819, 1365, 4095} are odd numbers k such that gpf(2^m-1) = gpf(m+1), where m = A002326((k-1)/2) is the multiplicative order of 2 mod 2k+1. - Amiram Eldar, Apr 15 2020
