FORMULA
a(n) = 2^(n-4) if n > = 5.
EXAMPLE
{A175555} = {5, 25, 375, 625, 59375, ...} =>
a(1) = 1 because A175555(1) = 5 occurs with the period 1 in the sequence A175555;
a(2) = 2 because A175555(2) = 25 occurs with the period 2 in the sequence A175555;
a(3) = 2 because A175555(3) = 375 occurs with the period 2 in the sequence A175555.
