The polynomial p(n,x) is defined as the numerator when the sum 1 + 1/(n*x + 1) + 1/((n*x + 1)(n*x + 2)) + ... + 1/((n*x + 1)(n*x + 2)...(n*x + n - 1)) is written as a fraction with denominator (n*x + 1)(n*x + 2)...(n*x + n - 1). For more, see A248664.

Examples

			The first six polynomials:
p(1,x) = 1
p(2,x) = 2 (x + 1)
p(3,x) = 9x^2 + 12 x +  5
p(4,x) = 4 (16 x^3 + 28 x^2 + 17 x + 4)
p(5,x) = 5 (125 x^4 + 275 x^3 + 225 x^2 + 84 x + 13)
p(6,x) = 2 (3888 x^5 + 10368 x^4 + 10800 x^3 + 5562 x^2 + 1455 x + 163), so that
a(1) = p(1,1) = 1, a(2) = p(2,1) = 4, a(3) = p(3,1) = 26.
