A143146 a(n) = the smallest positive multiple of n that has the same number of 0's as 1's in its binary representation. 1

EXAMPLE

For n = 7, checking: 7*1 = 7 = 111 in binary; 7*2 = 14 = 1110 in binary; 7*3 = 21 = 10101 in binary; 7*4 = 28 = 11100. All of these have two many 1's in binary. But 7*5 = 35 = 100011 in binary, which has both three 0's and three 1's. So a(7) = 35.
