A225169 Denominators of the sequence s(n) of the sum resp. product of fractions f(n) defined recursively by f(1) = 10/1; f(n+1) is chosen so that the sum and the product of the first n terms of the sequence are equal.

Numerators of the sequence s(n) of the sum resp. product of fractions f(n) is A165428(n+2), hence sum(A165428(i+1)/A225162(i),i=1..n) = product(A165428(i+1)/A225162(i),i=1..n) = A165428(n+2)/a(n) = A220812(n-1)/a(n).

Table of n, a(n) for n=1..7.

Formula

a(n) = 10^(2^(n-1))*b(n) where b(n)=b(n-1)-b(n-1)^2 with b(1)=1/10.

Example

f(n) = 10, 10/9, 100/91, 10000/9181, ...
10 + 10/9 = 10 * 10/9 = 100/9; 10 + 10/9 + 100/91 = 10 * 10/9 * 100/91 = 10000/819; ...
s(n) = 1/b(n) = 10, 100/9, 10000/819, ...

Maple

b:=proc(n) option remember; b(n-1)-b(n-1)^2; end:
b(1):=1/10;
a:=n->10^(2^(n-1))*b(n);
seq(a(i), i=1..7);
