COMMENTS

This is the `13x+1' map. The `Px+1 map': if x is divisible by any prime < P then divide out these primes one at a time starting with the smallest; otherwise multiply x by P and add 1.

FORMULA

For n>15, a(n)=a(n-15) [From Harvey P. Dale, May 02 2011]

EXAMPLE

73 -> 19*73+1 = 950, 950 = 2*5^2*19 -> 950/2 = 475, etc.
