Aug 14, 2011 at 23:45 comment added Gerhard Paseman More generally, for n=hk composite, one can "remove" some factors of n from consideration, reducing the problem to $(h^h)^k = ((a^a)(b^b))^k$ mod $p$, or not equals mod $p$. For $h=2$, this gives that $p$ must be a factor of $4^k - 1$. Gerhard "Ask Me About System Design" Paseman, 2011.08.14
