COMMENTS
a(n) is integer because b(n) = A269590(n) satisfies b(n)^2 + 4 == 0 (mod 5^n), n>=0.
See A268922 for details and references.

FORMULA
a(n) = (b(n)^2 + 4)/5^n, n>=0, with b(n) = A269590(n).
EXAMPLE
a(0) = (0 + 4)/1 = 4.
a(4)= (364^2 + 4)/5^4 = 212.
PROG
(PARI) b(n) = if (n==0, 0, 5^n - truncate(sqrt(-4+O(5^(n)))));
a(n) = (b(n)^2 + 4)/5^n; \\ Michel Marcus, Mar 24 2016
