I was unsure about this same question. I did not receive an answer so chose to leave blank. If asked about it in interview just be honest and tell them you didn't think you had a number. If you did then ask them where to find it. Just be honest.

Look at the instructions for the new N400 form (on the same page as the link to the form itself).

On page 5 it says:

"Item Number 6. USCIS Online Account Number (if any). If you have previously filed an application, petition, or

request using the USCIS online filing system (previously called USCIS Electronic Immigration System (USCIS ELIS)),

provide the USCIS Online Account Number you were issued by the system. You can find your USCIS Online Account

Number by logging in to your account and going to the profile page. If you previously filed certain applications, petitions,

or requests on a paper form via a USCIS Lockbox facility, you may have received a USCIS Online Account Access Notice

issuing you a USCIS Online Account Number. If you received such a notice, your USCIS Online Account Number can be

found at the top of the notice. If you were issued a USCIS Online Account Number, enter it in the space provided. The

USCIS Online Account Number is not the same as an A-Number."
