COMMENTS

All Fermat primes>5 (A019434) are in the sequence, since it can be shown that the period length of 1/(2^(2^n)+1) is 2^(2^n) whenever 2^(2^n)+1 is prime. - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Jun 13 2007

Take all the terms from row 2^k of triangle in A046107 for k >= 0 and sort to arrive at this sequence. - Ray Chandler, Nov 04 2011

Additional terms, but not necessarily the next in sequence: 13462517317633 has period length 1048576 = 2^20; 46179488366593 has period length 2199023255552 = 2^41; 101702694862849 has period length 8388608 = 2^23; 171523813933057 has period length 4398046511104 = 2^42; 505775348776961 has period length 2199023255552 = 2^41; 834427406578561 has period length 64 = 2^6 - Ray Chandler, Nov 09 2011

EXAMPLE

15361 has a period length of 256 = 2^8, hence 15361 is in the sequence.

MATHEMATICA

Do[ If[ IntegerQ[ Log[2, Length[ RealDigits[ 1/Prime[n]] [[1, 1]]]]], Print[ Prime[n]]], {n, 1, 47500}] (*Robert G. Wilson v*)

pmax = 10^10; p = 1; While[p < pmax, p = NextPrime[p]; If[ IntegerQ[Log[2, MultiplicativeOrder[10, p] ] ], Print[ p]; ]; ]; (*Chandler*)

PROG

(PARI) ? a(n)=if(n<4, n==2, znorder(Mod(10, prime(n)))) ? for(n=1, 20000, if(gcd(a(n), 2^1000)==a(n), print1(prime(n), ", ")))
