Comments

Equivalently, terms of A176970 that are not square of odd primes. Every square of odd prime p^2 is a term of A176970, because by Fermat's little theorem, for p prime, then 2^p = 2 (mod p).

The super-Poulet numbers (A050217) form a subsequence with 341, 1387, 2047, 2701, ... (see example).

Example

For 341 = 11 * 31 that is a super-Poulet:
   2^11 (mod 31) = 2^31 (mod 11) = 2, hence 341 is a term;
For 525 = 3 * 5^2 * 7 = 15 * 35 = 21 * 25:
   2^15 (mod 35) = 2^35 (mod 15) = 8, but
   2^21 (mod 25) = 2^25 (mod 21) = 2, hence, 525 is a term.
