Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

Numerator of the average position of a 1 in the reversed binary expansion of n.

EXAMPLE
The sequence of fractions begins: 1, 2, 3/2, 3, 2, 5/2, 2, 4, 5/2, 3, 7/3, 7/2, 8/3, 3, 5/2, 5, 3, 7/2, 8/3, 4.
For example, the reversed binary expansion of 18 is (0,1,0,0,1), and the average of {2,5} is 7/2, so a(18) = 7.
