Hi,
I recently became interested in some number theoretical questions. I have actually never really studied it before so my question might be really easy to answer.
I was trying to determine for which values of [itex]k[/itex] the number [itex]10^k+1[/itex] is divisible by a square. (http://www.research.att.com/~njas/sequences/A086982" ). The smallest such [itex]k[/itex] is 11 with the corresponding square being [itex]121=11^2[/itex]. Is it a coincidence that the number 11 occurs twice here? Is there anything more to say about this sequence?
Thanks for any hints or tips on how to start a problem like that.
