COMMENTS
The initial terms coincide with those of A003948, although the two sequences are eventually different.
First disagreement at index 17: a(17) = 915527343735, A003948(17) = 915527343750. - Klaus Brockhaus, Mar 30 2011
Computed with MAGMA using commands similar to those used to compute A154638.
