Well yeah.I had written it in a hurry. And thats false now. please
check this: if a is an odd prime, 1+a^2+a^4+a^6+....a^4k has a prime
factor greater than a. a is a prime of the form 4j+1.

Don't top post, it makes you look like someone who doesn't understand
that responses come after the thing to which they respond.

Anyway, your question is still malformed. You do not specify what k
is. Do you mean

a) If a is a prime of the form 4j+1 then 1+a^2+a^4+a^6+....a^4k has
a prime factor greater than a for some k>0.

b) If a is a prime of the form 4j+1 then 1+a^2+a^4+a^6+....a^4k has
a prime factor greater than a for all k>0.
