COMMENTS

A generalization of A002380, A064536 and A064854. It arises also as a coefficient (=c1) of 1^n=1 in a special (greedy) decomposition of 6^n into like powers as follows: 6^n = c5*5^n + c4*4^n + c3*3^n + c2*2^n + c1*1^n.

FORMULA

n = 8: 6^8 = 1679616 = 4*390625 + 1*65536 + 7*6561 + 22*256 + 21*1 where a(8)=21, the last coefficient and here 6^8 is decomposed into 4 + 1 + 7 + 22 + 21 = 55 like (8th) powers.
