The term a(n) contains the 8 bits corresponding to the odd numbers from 16n+3 to 16n+17. %H A066854 Cino Hilliard, Program %e A066854 In binary, a(0)=00010010, which means that among the odd numbers 3,5, 7,9,11,13,15,17, only 9 and 15 are composite. %t A066854 a[n_] := Sum[2^(8-k)*If[PrimeQ[16n+2k+1], 0, 1], {k, 1, 8}] %Y A066854 Sequence in context: A126405 A141842 A063788 this_sequence A059138 A117735 A041624 %Y A066854 Adjacent sequences: A066851 A066852 A066853 this_sequence A066855 A066856 A066857 %K A066854 nonn %O A066854 0,1 %A A066854 Cino Hilliard (hillcino368(AT)gmail.com), Jan 21 2002 %E A066854 Edited by Dean Hickerson (dean.hickerson(AT)yahoo.com), Feb 15 2002 Search completed in 0.001 seconds
