EXAMPLE
For n = 12, which by its binary representation '1100' corresponds with (0,1)-polynomial x^3 + x^2, which over GF(2)[X] is factored as (x)(x)(x+1), i.e., 12 = A048720(2,A048720(2,3)) = A048720(A014580(1), A048720(A014580(1),A014580(2))), we then form a(12) as A048720(A014580(2), A048720(A014580(2),A014580(3))) = A048720(3,A048720(3,7)) = 27. Note that x, x+1 and x^2 + x + 1 are the three smallest irreducible (0,1)-polynomials when factored over GF(2)[X], and their binary representations 2, 3 and 7 are the three initial terms of A014580.
