%N Highest power of 3 dividing F(4n) where F(k) is the k-th Fibonacci number.

%C If m == 1, 2 or 3 (mod 4) then F(m) is not divisible by 3.

%F If k == 1 or 2 (mod 3) then a(3^m*k) = 3^(m+1) for m>=0.

%F a(n) = A038500(A033888(n)). - _Amiram Eldar_, May 13 2022

%F a(n) = 3^A051064(n) (conjectured). - _Michel Marcus_, May 17 2022

%F Conjecture: a(n) = (sigma(3*n) - sigma(n))/(sigma(3*n) - 3*sigma(n)), where sigma(n) = A000203(n). Equivalently, a(n) = A088838(n) - A074724(n). - _Peter Bala_, Jun 10 2022
