COMMENTS
The initial terms coincide with those of A170760, although the two sequences are eventually different.
First disagreement at index 20: a(20) = 112699941847039999999999999999180, A170760(20) = 112699941847040000000000000000000. - Klaus Brockhaus, Apr 04 2011
Computed with MAGMA using commands similar to those used to compute A154638.
