%S 4,6,2,3,6,8,10,2,4,9,4,14,2,16,6,12,12,2,16,22,10,24,2,24,12,24,16,2,

%N Period of continued fraction for sqrt(n^2+5), n >= 3.

%C The old name was "Quotient cycle length of sqrt(n^2+5) for n>=3." - _Jianing Song_, May 01 2021

%F If n is a multiple of 5 then a(n) = 2.

%F a(n) = A003285(n^2+5). - _Jianing Song_, May 01 2021

%e sqrt(13^2+5) = [13; 5, 4, 5, 26], so a(13) = 4.

%e sqrt(14^2+5) = [14; 5, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 8, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 5, 28], so a(14) = 14.

%e sqrt(15^2+5) = [15; 6, 30], so a(15) = 2.

%e sqrt(16^2+5) = [16; 6, 2, 3, 7, 1, 3, 1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 7, 3, 2, 6, 32], so a(16) = 16.

%p with(numtheory): [seq(nops(cfrac(sqrt(k^2+5), 'periodic', 'quotients')[2]), k=3..256)];

%Y Cf. A003285.

%Y Period of continued fraction for sqrt(n^2+k): A059853 (k=3), A059855 (k=4), this sequence (k=5).

%K nonn

%O 3,1

%A _Labos Elemer_, Feb 27 2001
