COMMENT

Different from the highest power of 6 dividing n! (cf. A054861). - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Aug 14 2007

FORMULA

floor[n/6] + floor[n/36] + floor[n/216] + floor[n/1296] + ....

a(n)=(n-A053827(n))/5

a(n)= -1 + Sum_{k=0..n} 1/90*{-14*[k mod 6]+[(k+1) mod 6]+[(k+2) mod 6]+[(k+3) mod 6]+[(k+4) mod 6]+16*[(k+5) mod 6]}, with n>=0. - Paolo P. Lava (ppl(AT)spl.at), May 15 2007

Recurrence: a(n)=floor(n/6)+a(floor(n/6)); a(6*n)=n+a(n); a(n*6^m)=n*(6^m-1)/5+a(n). - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Aug 14 2007

a(k*6^m)=k*(6^m-1)/5, for 0<=k<6, m>=0. - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Aug 14 2007

Asymptotic behavior: a(n)=n/5+O(log(n)), a(n+1)-a(n)=O(log(n)); this follows from the inequalities below. - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Aug 14 2007

a(n)<=(n-1)/5; equality holds for powers of 6. - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Aug 14 2007

a(n)>=(n-5)/5-floor(log_6(n)); equality holds for n=6^m-1, m>0. - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Aug 14 2007

lim inf (n/5-a(n))=1/5, for n-->oo. - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Aug 14 2007

lim sup (n/5-log_6(n)-a(n))=0, for n-->oo. - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Aug 14 2007

lim sup (a(n+1)-a(n)-log_6(n))=0, for n-->oo. - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Aug 14 2007

G.f.: g(x)=sum{k>0, x^(6^k)/(1-x^(6^k))}/(1-x). - Hieronymus Fischer (Hieronymus.Fischer(AT)gmx.de), Aug 14 2007

Also, floor((n^6-1)/(5*n^5)) will produce this sequence. Moreover, floor[(n^6-n^5)/(6n^5-5n^4)] will produce this sequence as well. - Mohammad K. Azarian (azarian(AT)evansville.edu), Nov 08 2007
