Comments

Since n^12 + 1 = (n^4+1) * (n^8 - n^4 + 1), n^12 + 1 can be semiprime only if both n^4 + 1 and n^8 - n^4 + 1 are prime.

Examples

			2^12+1 = 4097 = 17 * 241,
6^12+1 = 2176782337 = 1297 * 1678321,
34^12+1 = 2386420683693101057 = 1336337 * 1785792568561,
1136^12+1 = 4618915067251126036363854530631172097 = 1665379926017 * 2773490297975392253706241.
