Find all positive integer $m$ such
$$2^{m}+1mid5^m-1,.$$




It seem there no solution, I think it might be necessary to use quadratic reciprocity knowledge to solve this problem.



Let $M=2^m+1$, so we have
$$5^{m}equiv 1pmod{M}. $$
If $m$ is odd, then we have
$$left(5^{frac{m+1}{2}}right)^2=5pmod {M}Longrightarrow left(dfrac{5}{M}right)=1,$$
so
$$left(dfrac{M}{5}right)(-1)^{frac{(5-1)(M-1)}{4}}=left(dfrac{M}{5}right)(-1)^M=-left(dfrac{M}{5}right).$$

    If $m$ is odd then $2^m +1$ is divisible by 3 but $5^m - 1$ is not. No need for quadratic reciprocity
