%N Numerator of fraction equal to the continued fraction [ 2, 3, 5, ...prime(n) ].

%F a(1)=2; a(2)=7; for n>2, a(n)=prime(n)*a(n-1)+a(n-2) [From _Zak Seidov_, Nov 07 2008]

%e a(2)=7 because 2+1/3 = 7/3. a(3)=37 because 2+1/(3+1/5) = 37/16. a(4)=266 because 2+1/(3+1/(5+1/7)) = 266/115.

%t a[1]=2;a[2]=7;a[n_]:=Prime[n]*a[n-1]+a[n-2];Table[a[n],{n,20}] [From _Zak Seidov_, Nov 07 2008]
