COMMENT

Also called the sieve of Tchoukaillon (or Mancala, or Kalahari); also the Smarandache consecutive sieve.

If k+1 occurs at rank i for the first time, then i is given by the program: i = 0: for j = k to 1 step -1: i = 1 + i + int ( i / j ): next: - Claude Lenormand (claude.lenormand(AT)free.fr), Jan 15 2001
