%N A136042 Base-2 MR-expansion of 1/29.
%C A136042 The base-m MR-expansion of a positive real number x, denoted by MR(x,
               m), is the integer sequence {s(1),s(2),s(3),...}, where s(i) is the 
               smallest exponent d such that (m^d)x(i)>1 and where x(i+1)=(2^d)x(i)-1, 
               with the initialization x(1)=x. The base-2 MR-expansion of 1/29 is 
               periodic with period length 14. Further computational results (see 
               A136043) suggest that if p is a prime with 2 as a primitive root, 
               then the base-2 MR-expansion of 1/p is periodic with period (p-1)/
               2. This has been confirmed for primes up to 2000. The base-2 MR-expansion 
               of e-2.71828... is given in A136044.
