Colin Barker, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..145

Index entries for linear recurrences with constant coefficients, signature (7300803,-7300803,1).

Formula

G.f.: -21*x*(x^2 -844482*x +33281)/((x-1)*(x^2 -7300802*x +1)).

Example

698901 is in the sequence because Oct(483) = 698901 = 231296 + 232965 + 234640 = Oct(278) + Oct(279) + Oct(280).
