QUESTION [5 upvotes]: OEIS A226181:
3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 37, 41, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79,

Primes $p$ such that $p-1$ divided by the period of the binary expansion of $1/p$ equals $2^x$ for some nonnegative integer $x$. Composite numbers matching the conditions below $10^8$ are:
 12801, 348161, 3225601  

Poulet $n$. and Proth $n$. : 
Poulet $n$.: A composite $n$ such that $2^n - 2$ is divisible by $n$.
Proth $n$.: A number of the form $k \cdot 2^n + 1$, with $k$ odd, $n > 0$, and $2^n > k$.
First numbers that belong to both sets:
1729, 4033, 8321, 12801, 65281, 130561, 348161, 3225601, 8355841,

Here's the question: are all counterexamples of OEIS A226181 both Poulet numbers and Proth numbers?

REPLY [6 votes]: The answer is no, they aren't necessarily Proth numbers.
Consider $$n=7816642561=7\times 13\times 5581\times 15391 = 238545\times 2^{15}+1$$ for which we have $\mathrm{ord}_{n}(2)=954180 = (n-1)/2^{13}$. Another counterexample would be $$m = 49413980161=7\times 13\times 4231\times 128341 = 1507995\times 2^{15}+1$$ which gives us $\mathrm{ord}_m(2) = 6031980 = (m-1)/2^{13}$.
I'm fairly sure that $n$ is the least counterexample to your conjecture. The other number might not be the second-smallest one, though; my search was not exhaustive over the extended range.
