What does the following sequence represent?
1, 1, 3, 1, 5, 3, 7, 1, 9, 5, 11, 3, 13, 7, 15, 1, 17, 9, 19, 5, 21, 11, 23, 3, 25, 13, 27, 7, 29, 15, 31, 1.
All whole numbers from 1 - 32 are there. they took each number and divided it by two untill the number would no longer be whole if it was dived again. ex. 1 divided by 2 is 1/2 so it stays at one. 2 divded by 2 is 1 and 1 divided by 2 is 1/2 so that would stay 1. 3 divided 2 is 1.5 so it would stay 3. and it continues down the line.
