Formula

a(n) = (5n-1)!/(n!(4n-1)!).

G.f.: A(x)=x*B'(x)/B(x), where B(x)/x is g.f. for A118971. Also a(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (binomial(n-1,n-k)*binomial(4*n,k)). - Vladimir Kruchinin, Oct 06 2015

From Peter Bala, Feb 14 2024: (Start)

a(n) = (-1)^n * binomial(-4*n, n).

a(n) = hypergeom([1 - 4*n, -n], [1], 1).

A(x) satisfies A(x/(1 + x)^5) = 1/(1 - 4*x). (End)

Example

a(1)=4 because there are 4 terms in A163142 with 1 zero in binary representation {23,27,29,30}_10 ={10111,11011,11101,11110}_2
a(2)=36 because there are 36 terms in A163142 with 2 zeros in binary representation: {639,703,735,751,759,763,765,766,831,863,879,887,891,893,894,927,943,951,955,957,958,975,983,987,989,990,999,1003,1005,1006,1011,1013,1014,1017,1018,1020}_10={1001111111,...,1111111100}_2
a(3)=364 terms in A163142 from 18431 to 32760 with 3 zeros in binary representation 18431_10=100011111111111_2 and 32760_10=111111111111000_2
a(4)=3876 terms in A163142 from 557055 to 1048560 with 4 zeros in binary representation, etc.
