Comments

The initial terms coincide with those of A170734, although the two sequences are eventually different.

First disagreement at index 18: a(18) = 457370200939967938455, A170734(18) = 457370200939967938560. - Klaus Brockhaus, Mar 27 2011

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