Comments

a(n) = 1 if numerator of Sum(e/p: n=Product(p^e)) is of the form 3k, and 0 if it is not.

Question: Does this sequence have an asymptotic mean? Partial sums for range [1..10^n-1], for n=1..10 are: 2, 19, 208, 2196, 22346, 225544, 2267048, 22752664, 228098405, 2285194569.

Formula

a(n) = A079978(A083345(n)).

a(n) = [A083345(n) == 0 (mod 3)], where [ ] is the Iverson bracket.

a(n) <= A359430(n).
