COMMENTS
It seems that lim_{n->infinity} a(n)/A069887(n) = C = 0.41..., which is close to (log(4)-log(3))/log(2)=0.415..., the expected density of 1's (cf. measure theory of continued fractions).

EXAMPLE
(1+1/14)^14 has for continued fraction [2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 6, 1, 7, 1, 6, 2, 1, 4, 21, 1, 1, 7, 1, 1, 1, 3, 2, 7, 2, 7, 1, 2, 4, 1, 3, 2, 1, 1, 1, 5, 1, 2, 5, 1, 2] which contains 18 "1's" hence a(14)=18.
