cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

Conjecture: sequence is not equal to the sequence of denominators presented in A172495 and A172506. - Jaroslav Krizek, Feb 05 2010
The conjecture is false for both other sequences; see A172495 and A172506 for proofs. - Michael S. Branicky, Nov 30 2022

Examples

			a(1) = 10 as 10*0.1 = 1, a(2) = 25 as 25*0.12 = 3.
