Has $n^{n+1}+(n+1)^{n+2}$ other obvious factors than that I found?

Question

Has the number $$f(n):=n^{n+1}+(n+1)^{n+2}$$ "obvious" factors (algebraic, aurifeuillan or similar kinds) apart from those , I mention below ?

I only managed to find out forced factors for odd numbers $\ n\ $ :

• If $\ n\ $ is of the form $\ 6k+1\ $ , then $\ f(n)\ $ is divisible by $\ 3\ $.

• If $\ n\ $ is of the form $\ 6k+3\ $ , then $\ f(n)\ $ is divisible by $\ n^2+n+1\ $

• and finally, if $\ n+2\ $ is prime, then $\ f(n)\ $ is divisble by $\ n+2\ $.

For even $n$, I did not find forced factors.

The smallest not completely factored number of this form is $f(62)$. It has the composite cofactor $$29645851324749161395794060252012567916992450650017954$$ $$8416412620499302880901240095492001218810908429181608669479$$ with $111$ digits.

Answer 1

The full factorization of $f(62)$ is

$$\begin{eqnarray} f(62) & = & 97\times 503\times 434254837008211200040837849611255155960657\times \\ & & 682683272545530598298287751380982048464896752734487326295497775449847\end{eqnarray}$$

Somewhat disappointingly, it was reached using raw computing power rather than any smart ideas; just by running YAFU, the factoring tool.

Answer 2

Possible to if $n\equiv_6-1$ and $n+2=b^k$ is power of some prime $b$, then $b\mid f(n)$.

Checked up to $n=10^5$ without exceptions.

gp-code:

nbk()=
{
 for(n=1, 10^5, f= n^(n+1)+(n+1)^(n+2);
  if(n%6==5,
   k= ispower(n+2, , &b);
   if(k&&isprime(b),
    if(f%b==0,
     print("n = "n"    f("n")%"b" = "f%b"    b = "b"    k = "k)
     ,
     print("----     "n"    f("n")%"b" = "f%b"    b = "b"    k = "k);
     break()
    )
   )
  )
 )
};
