COMMENTS
a(n) is integer because A212153(n) is one of the three solutions of X(n)^3+1 == 0 (mod 7^n), namely the one satisfying also X(n) == 5 (mod 7).
See the comments on A210853, and the Nagell reference given in A210848.
FORMULA
a(n) = (b(n)^3+1)/7^n, n>=0, with b(n):=A212153(n) given by a recurrence. See also a Maple program for b(n) there.
EXAMPLE
a(0) = 1/1 = 1.
a(3) = (19^3 + 1)/7^3 = 6860/343 = 20, (b(3) = 19^7 (mod 7^3) = 19).
