Comments

a(n) > 0 for all 1 < n <= 10^10 with the only exception n = 3114603841, and 2*3114603841 = 6219442049 + 2^3 + 5^10 with 6219442049 prime and 2^3 + 5^10 = 3*17*419*457 squarefree.

Note that a(n) <= A303934(n) <= A303821(n).

Example

a(3) = 1 since 2*3 = 3 + 2^1 + 5^0 with 3 = 2^1 + 5^0  prime.
a(7) = 2 since 2*7 = 7 + 2^1 + 5^1 with 7 = 2^1 + 5^1 prime, and 2*7 = 11 + 2^1 + 5^0 with 11 and 2^1 + 5^0 both prime.
a(42908) = 2 since 2*42908 = 85751 + 2^6 + 5^0 with 85751 prime and 2^6 + 5^0 = 5*13, and 2*42908 = 69431 + 2^14 + 5^0 with 69431 prime and 2^14 + 5^0 = 5*29*113.
