Let p(k)/q(k) = A096456(k)/A096463(k) be the k-th convergent to Pi/2; sequence gives numbers n such that |tan(p(n))|/p(n) sets a new maximal record.

EXAMPLE
The fifth term is 315. This means that at p(315), which is a number near 2.37*10^154, |tan(p(315))|/p(315) sets a new record, a number near 556.31.
