COMMENT

Primes associated with Stormer numbers.

See A002313 for the sorted list of primes. It can be shown that k^2 + 1 has at most one primitive prime factor; the other prime factors divide m^2 + 1 for some m < k. When k^2 + 1 has a primitive prime factor, k is a Stormer number (A005528), otherwise a non-Stormer number (A002312).
