%F The balanced ternary representation of n

%F n = Sum(i=0..1+floor(log_3(2|n|)) n_i * 3^i, n_i in {-1,0,1},

%F is taken as the representation of the "factorization" of the positive rational number c(n)/d(n) into terms from A186285

%F c(n)/d(n) = Prod(i=0..1+floor(log_3(2|n|)) (A186285(i+1))^(n_i), where A186285(i+1) is the (i+1)th prime power with exponent being a power of 3. Then a(n) is the numerator, i.e., c(n).

%e The balanced ternary digits {-1,0,+1} are represented here as {2,0,1}.

%e n BalTern A186286/A186287 (in reduced form)

%e 0 0 Empty product = 1 = 1/1, a(n) = 1

%e 3 10 3 = 3/1, a(n) = 3

%e 4 11 3*2 = 6 = 6/1, a(n) = 6
