%N a(n) is the least positive number of the form floor(2^k/n) for some k >= 0 not yet in the sequence.
%C The sequence is well defined as for any n > 0, there are infinitely many positive numbers of the form floor(2^k/n) with k >= 0.
%C The sequence is a permutation of the natural numbers, with inverse A309734:
%C - for any m > 0, floor(2^k/A300475(m)) = m for some k,
%C - also, for any u > 0, floor(2^(k-u)/(A300475(m)*2^u)) = m,
%C - so the set S_m = { v such that floor(2^k/v) = m for some k >= 0 } is infinite
%C - and eventually a(n) = m for some n in S_m, QED.
