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”).

%N Least k such that the numerator of the continued fraction [2,..,2,k] (n 2s) is prime.
%e The numerators of the continued fraction [2,2,2,2,2,k] for k=1,2,3 are 99,169,239; the first two are not prime and 239 is, so a(5) = 3.
