The 9469_{46} odd-index FF-factor divisibility conjecture

Let 9469_{46} be the pretzel knot (3,3,3)(3,3,-3), and let FiF_i denote its iith FF-factor. For each positive integer ii, the relevant divisor is 1+A2q2(i1)1+A^2q^{2(i-1)}.

The 9469_{46} odd-index divisibility conjecture. For odd positive integers i>1i>1,

(1+A2q2(i1))Fi.(1+A^2q^{2(i-1)})\mid F_i.

The stated factorization is observed for F1F_1, F3F_3, F5F_5, and F7F_7, but the general assertion is unproved.
