Comments

Comparing A016777(n) = 3n+1 and its arithmetic derivative a(n) = (A016777(n))' allows us to select the primes in A016777, because (prime(n))' = 1.

Formula

a(n) = (3*n + 1)' = (A016777(n))' = A003415(A016777(n)).

Example

a(2) = (3*2 + 1)' = (7)' = 1, a(5846) = (A016777(5846))' = (3*5846 + 1)' = (17539)' = 1.
