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”).

a(n) is the GCD of the binary representation of n interpreted in any numeric base.

FORMULA
k divides a(A329000(k)) for any k > 0.
EXAMPLE
For n = 42:
- the binary representation of 42 is "101010",
- the corresponding interpretations in the first bases b, alongside their GCD, are:
b b+b^3+b^5 GCD
-- --------- ---
2 42 42
3 273 21
4 1092 21
5 3255 21
6 7998 3
- as b + b^3 + b^5 is always divisible by 3, we have a(42) = 3.
PROG
(PARI) a(n) = my (g=n, d=binary(n)); for (b=3, oo, g = gcd(g, fromdigits(d, b)); if (g < b, return (g)))
