Comments

The initial terms coincide with those of A003948, although the two sequences are eventually different.

First disagreement at index 18: a(18) = 4577636718735, A003948(18) = 4577636718750. - Klaus Brockhaus, Mar 27 2011

Computed with MAGMA using commands similar to those used to compute A154638.
