2n divides Sierpinski number A014566(2n-1).
2^n divides A014566(2^n-1); A014566(2^n - 1) / 2^n = A081216(2^n - 1) = A122000(n) = {1, 7, 102943, 27368368148803711, 533411691585101123706582594658103586126397951, ...}.
p+1 divides A014566(p) for prime p; A014566(p)/(p+1) = A056852(n) = {7, 521, 102943, 23775972551, 21633936185161, ...}.
Primes in this sequence are {7, 521, 45957792327018709121}.
