Table of n, a(n) for n=0..98.

Formula

a(n) = floor((n + 1) log Pi) - floor(n log Pi). - Alonso del Arte, Dec 20 2018

Example

Pi^5 = 306.01968478528145326274131... and Pi^6 = 961.389193575304437...; in between them we find e^6 = 403.4287934927351226... and no other powers of e with integer exponents. Hence a(5) = 1.
Pi^6 = 961.389193575304437... and Pi^7 = 3020.2932277767920675142...; in between them we find e^7 = 1096.63315842845859926372... and e^8 = 2980.957987041728274743592... Hence a(6) = 2.
