COMMENT

Brenner proves that every prime divides some tribonacci number T(n). The Mathematica program computes similar sequences for any n-step Fibonacci sequence.

EXAMPLE

T(1), T(2), T(3), T(4), ... are 1,1,2,4,7,13,24,...; a(3) = 7 because 3 first divides T(7) = A000073(8) = 24.

MATHEMATICA

n=3; Table[a=Join[{1}, Table[0, {n-1}]]; k=0; While[k++; s=Mod[Plus@@a, i]; a=RotateLeft[a]; a[[n]]=s; s!=0]; k, {i, 100}] (Noe)
