COMMENT

A prime factor of 2^n+1 is called primitive if it does not divide 2^r+1 for any r<n. Zsigmondy's theorem says that there is at least one primitive prime factor except for n=3. See A086258 for those n that have a record number of primitive prime factors.

EXAMPLE

a(14) = 2 because 2^14+1 = 5*29*113 and 29 and 113 do not divide 2^r+1 for r < 14.
