COMMENT

Conjecture: 2^n-1 is square-free iff gcd(n,2^n-1)=1. If true the conjecture would imply that Mersenne numbers (cf. A001348) are square-free. - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)Eunet.yu), Apr 12 2002. But the conjecture is not true: counterexamples are n = 364 and n = 1755, i.e. gcd(364,2^364-1) = 1 and (2^364-1) mod 1093^2 = 0 and gcd(1755,2^1755-1) = 1 and (2^1755-1) mod 3511^2 = 0, cf. A001220. - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)Eunet.yu), Nov 01 2005
