%N Numbers n such that there is no bit position where the binary expansions of n and 8n are both 1.

%C Equivalently, numbers n such that 9*n = 9 X n, i.e., 8*n XOR n = 9*n. Here * stands for ordinary multiplication and X means carryless (GF(2)[X]) multiplication (A048720).

%C Equivalently, numbers n such that the binomial coefficient C(9n,n) (A169958) is odd. - _Zak Seidov_, Aug 06 2010

%C The equivalence of these three definitions follows from Lucas's theorem on binomial coefficients. - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Sep 01 2010

%C Clearly all numbers k*2^i for 1 <= k <= 7 have this property. - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Sep 01 2010

%C A116361(a(n)) <= 3. - _Reinhard Zumkeller_, Feb 04 2006
