Formula

a(n) = (A286877(n+1) - A286877(n))/17^n.

For n > 0, a(n) = 16 - A309990(n).

Example

The solution to x^2 == -1 (mod 17^4) such that x == 4 (mod 17) is x == 27493 (mod 17^4), and 27493 is written as 5A24 in heptadecimal, so the first four terms are 4, 2, 10 and 5.

Prog

(PARI) a(n) = truncate(sqrt(-1+O(17^(n+1))))\17^n
