FORMULA

a(0) = 455; for n >= 1, a(n) = A234742(a(n-1)).
|

|
EXAMPLE
|
The initial value a(0) = 455 ("111000111" in binary) encodes polynomial (with coefficients 0 or 1) x^8 + x^7 + x^6 + x^2 + x + 1, which in ring GF(2)[X] factorizes as (x + 1)(x + 1)(x^2 + x + 1)(x^2 + x + 1)(x^2 + x + 1). (x+1) is encoded by 3 ("11" in binary) and (x^2 + x + 1) by 7 ("111" in binary). Multiplying 3*3*7*7*7 yields the next term of the sequence, thus a(1) = 3087.
3087 ("110000001111" in binary) in turn encodes polynomial x^11 + x^10 + x^3 + x^2 + x + 1 which factorizes as (x + 1)(x^2 + x + 1)(x^2 + x + 1)(x^3 + x^2 + 1)(x^3 + x^2 + 1). Polynomial (x^3 + x^2 + 1) is encoded by 13, as 13 is "1101" in binary. Multiplying 3*7*7*13*13 yields the next term of the sequence, a(2) = 24843.
