A271984
Numbers n such that the denominator of the sum of the reciprocals of the exponents in the binary expansion of 2n is not equal to their LCM. That is, A271410(n) != A116417(n).

COMMENTS
a(2*n) = 1 + a(2*n-1) for all n > 0.
EXAMPLE
a(1) = 34 because 34*2 = 68 is the first number such that the LCM of the exponents in its binary expansion (2 and 6) is unequal to the denominator of the sum of reciprocals: lcm(2, 6) = 6 != denominator(1/2 + 1/6) = 3.
Equivalently, A271410(34) = 6 != A116417(34) = 3.
