COMMENTS

See A136042 for the definition of the MR-expansion of a positive real number.

It appears that all terms of this sequence are primes of the form 8n+1 (A007519).

EXAMPLE

Applying the definition of the base-2 MR-expansion to 1/17 gives 1/17->2/17->4/17->8/17->16/17->32/17->15/17->30/17->13/17->26/17->9/17->18/17->1/17->..., which shows that the expansion begins {5,1,1,1,...} and has period 4=(17-1)/4.
