A185242 Successive integers produced by Conway's PRIMEGAME, starting with 3 rather than 2. 2
3, 165, 145, 385, 455, 85, 78, 66, 58, 154, 182, 34, 2, 15, 825, 725, 1925, 2275, 425, 390, 330, 290, 770, 910, 170, 156, 132, 116, 308, 364, 68, 4, 30, 225, 12375, 10875, 28875, 25375, 67375, 79625, 14875, 13650, 2550 (list; graph; refs; listen; history; text; internal format)

COMMENTS

2 is nevertheless reached fairly soon, and after that the sequence proceeds exactly the same as A007542.

LINKS

Table of n, a(n) for n=1..43.

FORMULA

a(n+12) = A007542 (n) for n > 0. [Charles R Greathouse IV, Jan 24 2012]

a(n+1) = A203907(a(n)), a(1) = 3. [Reinhard Zumkeller, Jan 25 2012]

EXAMPLE

After 3, we have 3 * 55 = 165 because none of the other fractions give an integer. Then we can use 29/33, and thus 165 * 29/33 = 145, and so on and so forth.

MATHEMATICA

(* First run the program for A203907 to define conwayProc *) NestList[conwayProc, 3, 50]

PROG

(Haskell)

a185242 n = a185242_list !! (n-1)

a185242_list = iterate a203907 3
