COMMENTS
The initial terms coincide with those of A170736, although the two sequences are eventually different.
First disagreement at index 19: a(19) = 80280230208783968632696, A170736(19) = 80280230208783968632832. - Klaus Brockhaus, Mar 30 2011
Computed with MAGMA using commands similar to those used to compute A154638.
