Generated by k = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 11, 12, 13, 15, 17, 19, 23, 28, 29, 31,. ..

This set of k contains all terms of A122781 and all primes. [It contains the primes because j^p == j (mod p) for every integer j if p is prime; see e.g. the corollary 4.4 to the Lagrange theorem in Jones et al.]

EXAMPLE

a(9) = 1398101 because (4^12 - 4)/12 = 1398101 for k = 12.
