%N A050922 Triangle in which n-th row gives prime factors of n-th Fermat number
2^(2^n)+1.

their first appearance. - Labos E. (labos(AT)ana.sote.hu), Jan 21

%C A050922 Comments from T. D. Noe, Jan 29 2009 (Start): That these two definitions
give the same sequence follows from the fact (stated as a formula
in A001317) that A001317(n) is the product of Fermat numbers F(i)
according to which bits of n are set.
%C A050922 For instance, for n=41, the binary representation of n is 101001, which
has bits 0, 3 and 5 set. A001317(n) = 3311419785987 = 3*257*4294967297
= F(0)*F(3)*F(5).
%C A050922 This factorization also explains why the "first 31 numbers give odd-sided
constructible polygons". I think Hewgill first noticed this factorization.
