%N A353214 a(n) = 2^A007013(4) mod prime(n); the last term of this sequences is when a(n) = 1.
%C A353214 This sequence uses the centered version of mod. The residue system modulo prime(n) is {-1*floor(prime(n)/2)..floor(prime(n)/2)}. This is so that this sequence will encode information about the numbers around 2^A007013(4). If a(n) = k and prime(n) < 2^A007013(4) - k, then 2^A007013(4) - k is not prime (prime(n) is a factor of 2^A007013(4) - k). For example, a(22) = -3, so prime(22) = 79 is a factor of 2^A007013(4) + 3.
%C A353214 The length of this sequence is the lowest value of n such that A014664(n) = A007013(4). This is because for any power of 2, 2^p, if p == 0 (mod A014664(n)), then 2^p == 1 (mod prime(n)) (prime(n) is a factor of A000225(p)). Since A007013(4) is prime, we can apply this to get: If A014664(n) = A007013(4) and prime(n) < A007013(5), then A007013(5) is not prime (prime(n) is a nontrivial factor).
%C A353214 For any n such that prime(n) < 5*(10^51 + 5*10^9), a(n) != 1.
