Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

a(n) = floor(n/z) where z is the number of zeros in the decimal expansion of 2^n, and a(n)=0 when z=0.

%C Is a(229)=229 the largest term?

%C a(8949)=41; is 8949 the largest n such that a(n) >= 41?

%C Is 79391 the largest n such that a(n) <= 30?

%C Is 30 <= a(n) <= 36 true for all n >= 713789?

%C Conjecture: For every sequence which can be named as "digit k appears m times in the decimal expansion of 2^n", the sequences are finite for 0 <= k <= 9 and any given m >= 0. Every digit from 0 to 9 are inclined to appear an equal number of times in the decimal expansion of 2^n as n increases.

%e a(11) = 11 because 2^11 = 2048, there is 1 zero in 2048 and the integer part of 11/1 is 11.
