Setting a(1) = 1 is arbitrary; since 1 has no prime divisors, we must then have p = 1 => a(2) = 2, without reference to a(0).
There are three cases where p = 1: n=1 (a(n)=1); n=3 (a(n)=4); n=17 (a(n)=81); and no others through n = 10000. Except that there cannot be such cases consecutively, p=1 iff a(n) is a prime power.

EXAMPLE
|
After a(9)=22, a(10)=33, the prime divisors of a(10) are 3 and 11; 11 divides 22, so p=3, and a(11)=36.
