Primitive elements of A049094: the elements of A049094 are precisely the positive multiples of members of this sequence.
If p^2 divides 2^n - 1 for some odd prime p, then by definition the multiplicative order of 2 mod p^2 divides n. The multiplicative order of 2 mod p^2 is p times the multiplicative order of 2 mod p unless p is a Wieferich prime, in which case the two orders are identical. Hence either p is a Wieferich prime or p*log_2(p+1) <= n. This should allow finding larger members of this sequence. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Feb 04 2014
If n is in the sequence and m>1 then m*n is not in the sequence. Because n is a proper divisor of m*n and 2^n-1 is not squarefree. - Farideh Firoozbakht, Feb 11 2014
