Note that x n + 1 = ( x + 1 ) ( x n − 1 − x n − 2 + x n − 3 − . . . − x + 1 ) for odd positive integer n , and hence x n + 1 is divisible by x + 1 . Now 6 1 8 2 2 8 1 6 + 1 = 6 1 8 2 2 5 6 × 1 1 + 1 = ( 6 1 8 2 2 5 6 ) 1 1 + 1 Let x = 6 1 8 2 2 5 6 , we can see that the above expression is equal to x 1 1 + 1 which is divisible by x + 1 = 6 1 8 2 2 5 6 + 1 . Hence 6 1 8 2 2 8 1 6 + 1 is not a prime.
