Example

The number of 0's and 1's for all primes of with respect to different binary lengths from 2 to 27 is given in Table 1. Thus for all primes of binary length 3, we have the primes 2, 3, 5, and 7 which in the binary form are 010, 011, 101, and 111, with four 0's and 8 1's, so a(2) = 4. Likewise, for all primes of bit length 4, we count the primes 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, and 13 corresponding to the sequences 0010, 0011, 0101, 0111, 1011, 1101, which gives us ten 0's and 14 1's, so a(3) = 10.
