A probability argument suggests that this sequence may be finite.
EXAMPLE
a(1) = 1/1 = 1; a(2) = 135/(1+3+5) = 15; a(3) = 1357911131517/(1+3+5+7+9+11+13+15+17) = 16764334957; a(4) = 1357911131517192123252729313335373941/(1+3+5+7+9+11+13+15+17+19+21+23+25+27+29+31+33+35+37+39+41) = 3079163563531047898532266016633501.
