Odd numbers k such that ord(2,k) divides 4*k-1, where ord(2,k) is the multiplicative order of 2 modulo k.
Numbers k such that 2*k is in A130421.
Terms > 7 must be composite, since for odd primes p we have 2^(4*p-1) == 8 (mod p). If k > 1 is a term, then 4*k-1 must also be composite, since ord(2,k) | (4*k-1) and ord(2,k) <= eulerphi(k) <= k-1 < 4*k-1.
If k > 1 is a term, then (2^(4*k-1) - 1)/k is composite. Proof: since 4*k-1 is composite, write 4*k-1 = u*v, u >= v > 1. Proof: since 4*k-1 is composite, write 4*k-1 = u*v, u >= v > 1, then (2^(4*k-1) - 1)/k = (2^u - 1)*(2^(u*(v-1)) + ... + 2^u + 1)/k. Since k | 2^(4*k-1) - 1, there exist positive integers a,b such that a*b = k and that a | 2^u - 1 and b | 2^(u*(v-1)) + ... + 2^u + 1. Note that (2^u - 1)/a, (2^(u*(v-1)) + ... + 2^u + 1)/b >= (2^u - 1)/k >= (2^sqrt(4*k-1) - 1)/k > 1, so (2^(4*k-1) - 1)/k is the product of two integers > 1, so it is composite.
2^t - 1 is a term if and only if 2^(t+2) == 5 (mod t) (t = 1, 3, 9, 871, 2043, 2119, 8769, ...).

FORMULA
a(n) = A347908(n)/2.
EXAMPLE
7 is a term since 7 divides 2^27 - 1.
