8747135266
7427466391



f(1) = 7182818284
f(2) = 8182845904
f(3) = 8747135266
f(4) = 7427466391
f(5) = ???



Trying out various things on them, the following turned up which seemed a little too coincendental to be a coincendence:

7+1+8+2+8+1+8+2+8+4 = 49
8+1+8+2+8+4+5+9+0+4 = 49
8+7+4+7+1+3+5+2+6+6 = 49
7+4+2+7+4+6+6+3+9+1 = 49

So a quick check if these are the first 4 values of 10-digit chunks of e that sum to 49, which they turned out to be.
