Abstract: A Sierpi'nski number is a positive odd integer $k$ such that $kcdot{2}^n+1$ is composite for all positive integers $n$. Fix an integer $A$ with $2leA$. We show that there exists a positive odd integer $k$ such that $kcdot{a}^n+1$ is composite for all integers $ain[2,A]$ and all $ninmathbb{Z}^{+}$.
