A171828 Nonnegative integers that can be made by using five fives (5 5's) and the four basic operators {+, -, *, /}.

0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 19, 20, 21, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 29, 30, 31, 35, 40, 45, 49, 50, 51, 55, 60, 70, 75, 80, 95, 100, 105, 115, 120, 124, 125, 126, 130, 135, 145, 150, 155, 175, 200, 225, 245, 250, 255, 275, 300, 375, 500, 600, 620, 630, 650, 750, 1250, 3125

Comments

Every integer can be made if other operators are allowed (i.e., 13 = (5!+5+5)/(5+5)). The sequence is finite: a(68) = 5*5*5*5*5 = 3125 is the last term.

Examples

			Example: a(14) = 14 = (5+5+5)-(5/5).
