%N a(1)=3. a(n) is the smallest positive integer not occurring earlier in the sequence such that (sum{k=1 to n} a(k)) divides product{j=1 to n} a(j).

%C Is this a permutation of the positive integers? According to Hans Havermann, this sequence matches sequence A127562 beginning with the 104th term of each. Unlike sequence A127562, the sum of the first n terms of this sequence divides the product of the first n terms for every positive integer n.

%p N:= 1000: # to get a(1) to a(m-1) where a(m) is the first term > N

%p a[1]:= 3:

%p R:= {$1..N} minus {3}:

%p P:= 3:

%p S:= 3:

%p if type((P*r)/(S+r),integer) then

%p a[n]:= r;

%p R:= R minus {r};
