%N Start with a(1) = 1, a(2) = 3, then a(n)*2^k = a(n+1) + a(n+2), with 2^k the smallest power of 2 (k>0) such that all terms a(n) are positive integers.

%C Define 2-free Fibonacci numbers as sequences where b(n) = (b(n-1) + b(n-2))/2^i such that 2^i is the greatest power of 2 that divides b(n-1) + b(n-2). Read backwards from the n-th term, this sequence produces a subsequence of 2-free Fibonacci numbers where we must divide by a power of 2 every time we add.

%C For other examples of n-free Fibonacci numbers, see A232666, A214684, A224382.
