A255524 Let EKG-n denote the EKG sequence (A064413) started with n rather than 2, and suppose EKG-n first merges with some other EKG-i (i >= 2) sequence after f(n) (= A255583(n)) steps; then a(n) = smallest value of i such that EKG-i meets EKG-n after f(n) steps.

Does a(n) always exist?

Recommended for elementary school teachers to experiment with to teach factoring.

Examples

			a(5) = 3 because the EKG sequence starting with 5 (EKG-5) starts coinciding with sequences EKG-3, EKG-6, EKG-9 and EKG-12 simultaneously (when all sequences hit 18).

Of these, the smallest EKG sequence is numbered 3 so a(5) = 3.

A255583 Let EKG-n denote the EKG sequence (A064413) started with n rather than 2, and suppose EKG-n first merges with some other EKG-i (i >= 2). Then a(n) = number of steps for this to happen.

Merging means that the sequences are identical for all future steps. EKG-2 and EKG-5 merge at step 44. From then on the sequences are identical.

Examples

			a(5) = 14 because the EKG sequence starting with 5 (EKG-5, A169841) merges with sequences EKG-3, EKG-6, EKG-9 and EKG-12 simultaneously when all sequences hit 18.
EKG-3:  3, 6, 2, 4, 8, 10, 5, 15, 9, 12, 14, 7, 21, 18, 16, 20, 22, 11, ... (A169837)

EKG-5 merges with EKG-2 after three steps, so some care is needed in the definition. Perhaps the offset should be 3 rather than 2? - N. J. A. Sloane, Feb 24 2015
Merging means that the sequences are identical for all future steps. EKG-2 and EKG-5 merge at step 44. From then on the sequences are identical.
EKG-3 and EKG-5 (below) do not merge at step 3, because the sequences are not identical from that point forward.

Examples

			a(5) = 4 because the EKG sequence starting with 5 (EKG-5, A169841) starts coinciding with sequences EKG-3, EKG-6, EKG-9 and EKG-12 simultaneously (when all sequences hit 18).
