FORMULA
EXAMPLE
The first few terms of A003592 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16 because 1/1, 1/2, 1,4, 1/5, 1/8 etc. terminate and 1/3, 1/6, 1/7, 1/9 etc. repeat. Hence the denominators of the first few terminating decimals are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16 and the first differences between these gives the sequence 1,2,1,3,2,4
