FORMULA
a(n) = 8^(2^(n-2)) - product(a(i),i=1..n-1), n > 1 and a(1) = 1.
a(n) = 8^(2^(n-2)) - p(n) with a(1) = 1 and p(n) = p(n-1)*a(n-1) with p(1) = 1.
EXAMPLE
f(n) = 8, 8/7, 64/57, 4096/3697, ...
8 + 8/7 = 8 * 8/7 = 64/7; 8 + 8/7 + 64/57 = 8 * 8/7 * 64/57 = 4096/399; ...
MAPLE
b:=n->8^(2^(n-2)); # n > 1
b(1):=8;
p:=proc(n) option remember; p(n-1)*a(n-1); end;
p(1):=1;
a:=proc(n) option remember; b(n)-p(n); end;
a(1):=1;
seq(a(i), i=1..9);
