%F a(n)/A159976(n) is a proper fraction which undergoes Anomalous Cancellation.
%e The first four values are the only four such cases for numerator and denominators of two digits: a(1) = 13 because 13/325 if you strike/cancel a digit "3" in numerator and denominator yields the correct 1/25. a(2) = 16 because 16/64 if you cancel a digit "6" in numerator and denominator yields the correct 1/4. a(3) = 19 because 19/95 if you cancel a digit "9" in numerator and denominator yields the correct 1/5.
