COMMENTS
Also binary weight of 10^n, which is verified easily enough: 10^n = 2^n * 5^n; it is obvious that 2^n in binary is a single 1 followed by n 0's, therefore, in the binary expansion of 2^n * 5^n, the 2^n contributes only the trailing zeros. - Alonso del Arte, Oct 28 2012
Conjecture: a(n)/n -> log_4(5) = 1.160964... as n -> oo. - M. F. Hasler, Apr 17 2024

FORMULA
a(n) + A118737(n) = A061785(n) + 1 for n >= 1. - Robert Israel, Dec 24 2017 [corrected by Amiram Eldar, Jul 27 2023]
a(n) = A000120(A000351(n)) = Hammingweight(5^n). - M. F. Hasler, Apr 17 2024
EXAMPLE
a(2) = 3 because 5^2 = 25 is 11001, which has 3 on bits.
