 Let P(n)=242n+1+33n+1

Then P(1)=243+34=209which is divisible by 1 1 but not divisible by 2,7 or 27 .
Further, let P(k)=2.42k+1+33k+1is divisible by 11, that is,

242k+1+33k+1=11q for some integer q. Now

P(k+1)=242k+3+33k+4

=242k+142+33k+133

=16242k+1+2733k+1

=16242k+1+(16+11)33k+1

=16242k+1+33k+1+1133k+1

=1611q+1133k+1

=1116q+33k+1=11m

where m=16q+33k+1is another integer.

P(k+1) is divisible by 1 1.
