Comments

The initial terms coincide with those of A003950, although the two sequences are eventually different.

First disagreement at index 31: a(31) = 180314722325538064702905964, A003950(31) = 180314722325538064702905992. - Klaus Brockhaus, Jun 17 2011

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