A177436 The number of positive integers m for which the exponents of 2 and p_n in the prime power factorization of m! are both powers of 2. 7

%N The number of positive integers m for which the exponents of 2 and p_n in the prime power factorization of m! are both powers of 2.

%C Or a(n) is the maximal m for which the Fermi-Dirac representation of m! (see comment in A050376) contains single power of 2 and single power of prime(n).

%F a(2)=a(3)=7; a(4)=6; if p_n has the form (2^(4*k+1)+3)/5,k>=2,then a(n)=5; if p_n is a Fermat prime: p_n=2^(2^(k-1))+1, k>=3, then a(n)=4; if p_n has the form 2^k+3, k>=3, then a(n)=3; otherwise, if 2^(k-1)+3<p_n<=2^k-1, then a(n)=2*(1+floor(log_2((p_n-5)/(2^k-p_n))), where p_n=prime(n).

%e For p_5=11, we have 11=2^3+3. Therefore a(5)=3; for p_27=103, we have 103=(2^(4*2+1)+3)/5. Therefore a(27)=5; for p_31=127, a(31)=2*(1+floor(log_2((127-5)/(128-127)))=14.
