Type 2 prime p = 3: the sequence of 3-adic valuations [v_3(a(n)) : n = 1..80] = [0, 1, 1, 1, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 7, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 9, 9, 9, 12, 12, 12, 13, 13, 13, 14, 14, 14, 16, 16, 16, 17, 17, 17, 18, 18, 18, 20, 20, 20, 21, 21, 21, 22, 22, 22, 25, 25, 25, 26, 26, 26, 27, 27, 27, 29, 29, 29, 30, 30, 30, 31, 31, 31, 33, 33, 33, 34, 34, 34, 35, 35, 35, 39, 39, 41, 40, 40].
Note that v_3(a(80)) = 40 = 80/(3 - 1), in agreement with the asymptotic behavior for type 2 primes conjectured above.
Type 3 prime p = 11: the sequence of 11-adic valuations [v_11(a(n)) : n = 1..121] = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 2], showing the oscillatory behavior for type 3 primes conjectured above.
