Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%e a(4) = 1 since 4 = 1 * 4^1 and 4 / 4^1 = 1; 1 = 1 (mod 8).
%e a(5) = 5 since it is not a multiple of 4; 5 = 5 (mod 8).
%e a(12) = 3 since 12 = 3 * 4^1 and 12 / 4^1 = 3; 3 = 3 (mod 8).
%e a(44) = 3 since 44 = 11 * 4^1 and 44 / 4^1 = 11; 3 = 11 (mod 8).
%e a(64) = 1 since 64 = 1 * 4^3 and 64 / 4^3 = 1; 1 = 1 (mod 8).
