Abstract
Lehmer conjectured that Ramanujan's tau function never vanishes. As a variation of this conjecture, it is proved that \begin{equation*} \tau(n)\neq \pm \ell, \pm 2\ell, \pm 2\ell^2, \end{equation*} where is an odd prime, by Balakrishnan, Ono, Craig, Tsai and many people. We have proved that \begin{equation*} \tau(n)\neq \pm \ell, \pm 2\ell, \pm 4\ell, \pm 8\ell \end{equation*} for any except 14 cases, where is an odd prime.
