COMMENT

n^6+1 can only be prime when n = 1, n^6+1 = 2. This is because the sum of cubes formula gives the polynomial factorization n^6+1 = (n^2+1) * (n^4 - n^2 + 1). Hence n^6+1 can only be semiprime when both (n^2+1) and (n^4 - n^2 + 1) are primes.

FORMULA

a(n)^6 + 1 is semiprime. (a(n)^2+1) is prime and (a(n)^4 - a(n)^2 + 1) is prime.

EXAMPLE

n n^6+1 = (n^2+1) * (n^4 - n^2 + 1)

2 65 = 5 * 13

4 4097 = 17 * 241

10 1000001 = 101 * 9901

36 2176782337 = 1297 * 1678321

56 30840979457 = 3137 * 9831361

94 689869781057 = 8837 * 78066061

126 4001504141377 = 15877 * 252031501

224 126324651851777 = 50177 * 2517580801
