COMMENTS
The initial terms coincide with those of A170738, although the two sequences are eventually different.
First disagreement at index 17: a(17) = 2307351090835290783573, A170738(17) = 2307351090835290783744. - Klaus Brockhaus, Mar 30 2011
Computed with MAGMA using commands similar to those used to compute A154638.
