COMMENTS
The initial terms coincide with those of A170761, although the two sequences are eventually different.
First disagreement at index 17: a(17) = 2677879298415428282550170061, A170761(17) = 2677879298415428282550170922. - Klaus Brockhaus, Mar 28 2011
Computed with MAGMA using commands similar to those used to compute A154638.
