COMMENTS
The initial terms coincide with those of A170769, although the two sequences are eventually different.
First disagreement at index 20: a(20) = 6496740572356151005858607284921225, A170769(20) = 6496740572356151005858607284922450. - Klaus Brockhaus, Apr 04 2011
Computed with MAGMA using commands similar to those used to compute A154638.
