When (n^k+1)/(n+1) is prime, k must be prime. As mentioned by Dubner and Granlund, when n is a perfect power (the power is greater than 2), then (n^k+1)/(n+1) will usually be composite for all k, which is the case for n = 8, 27, 32 and 64. a(n) are only probable primes for n = {53, 124, 150, 182, 205, 222, 296}.
a(n) = 0 if n = {8, 27, 32, 64, 125, 243, ...}. - Eric Chen, Nov 18 2014
