Comments

The initial terms coincide with those of A170765, although the two sequences are eventually different.

First disagreement at index 18: a(18) = 585289274738054026794433592715, A170765(18) = 585289274738054026794433593750. - Klaus Brockhaus, Mar 26 2011

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