By the fermat´s little theorem the remainder after division of 2 p + 1 + 3 p + 1 + 5 p + 1 + 7 p + 1 2^{p+1}+3^{p+1}+5^{p+1}+7^{p+1} by any prime number p is 2 2 + 3 2 + 5 2 + 7 2 = 87 = 3 29 2^2+3^2+5^2+7^2=87=3*29 and thus the largest prime p p which divides 2 p + 1 + 3 p + 1 + 5 p + 1 + 7 p + 1 2^{p+1}+3^{p+1}+5^{p+1}+7^{p+1} is 29.
