As is the question in the title, I am wishing to find all positive integers $n$ such that $3^n + 5^n$ is divisible by $n^2 - 1$.
I have so far shown both expressions are divisible by $8$ for odd $n\ge 3$ so trivially a solution is $n=3$. I'm not quite sure how to proceed now though. I have conjectured that the only solution is $n=3$ and have tried to prove it but have had little luck. Can anyone point me in the right direction? thanks
