Prove that $5^{3^n} + 1$ is divisible by $3^{n + 1}$ for all nonnegative integers $n.$

Viktor [21]

When $n=0$ , we have

$5^{3^0} + 1 = 5^1 + 1 = 6$

$3^{0 + 1} = 3^1 = 3$

and of course 3 | 6. ("3 divides 6", in case the notation is unfamiliar.)

Suppose this is true for $n=k$ , that

$3^{k + 1} \mid 5^{3^k} + 1$

Now for $n=k+1$ , we have

$5^{3^{k+1}} + 1 = 5^{3^k \times 3} + 1 \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ = \left(5^{3^k}\right)^3 + 1^3 \\\\ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ = \left(5^{3^k} + 1\right) \left(\left(5^{3^k}\right)^2 - 5^{3^k} + 1\right)$
