COMMENTS
The initial terms coincide with those of A170763, although the two sequences are eventually different.
First disagreement at index 18: a(18) = 258473736679858480830700359346, A170763(18) = 258473736679858480830700360292. - Klaus Brockhaus, Mar 26 2011
Computed with MAGMA using commands similar to those used to compute A154638.
