Prove that $n$ is not divider of number $2^n-1$, if $n>1$
If we think opposite, then $n$ is divider of number $2^{n}-1$, since $2^{n}-1$ is odd number then $nnot=2k$, where $kin mathbb Z$, now let try with $n=2k+1$ but then $2^{2k} equiv 1 mod (2k+1)$, then $2^{2k+1} equiv 2 (mod 2k+1)$, so $nnot | 2^n-1$ for any number n>1, so only option is that n=1, is this ok?

Your argument only works in the case where $2k+1$ is prime. For example, $2^{14}equiv 4pmod {15}$.
