The largest k for which A220645(n,k) > 0 is k = a(n). That is, a(n) is the largest power of 2 that divides binomial(n,i) for 0 <= i <= n. - T. D. Noe, Dec 18 2012
a(n) is the distance between the first and last 1's in the binary expansion of n+1; see examples and formulae. - David James Sycamore, Feb 21 2023

FORMULA
|
a(n) = A048881(n) + A086784(n+1). (A048881(n) is the number of 1's which remain unchanged between binary n and (n+1). A086784(n+1) is the number of nonleading 0's which remain unchanged between binary n and (n+1).)
a(n) = -valuation(H(n)*n,2) where H(n) is the n-th harmonic number. - Benoit Cloitre, Oct 13 2013
Recurrence: a(2n) = floor(log_2(n)) except a(0) = 0, a(2n+1) = a(n). - Ralf Stephan, Oct 16 2013, corrected by Peter J. Taylor, Mar 01 2020

EXAMPLE
|
9 in binary is 1001. 10 (decimal) is 1010 in binary. 2 binary digits remain unchanged (the leftmost two digits) between 1001 and 1010. So a(9) = 2.
Number of bits surviving transition from n to n+1 = distance between first and last 1's in binary expansion of n+1 (no need to compare n and n+1). Examples:
n = 2^k - 1: distance between 1's in n+1 = 2^k is 0; a(n) = 0 (all bits change).
82 in binary is 1010010, and 83 is 1010011 distance between 1's in 83 = 6 = a(82).
Show visually for a(327) = 5:
n = 327 = 101000111
^^^^^ 5 unchanged bits.
n+1 = 328 = 101001000
^ ^ distance between 1's = 5. (End)
