Comments

The initial terms coincide with those of A170740, although the two sequences are eventually different.

First disagreement at index 23: a(23) = 880803839999999999999999999790, A170740(23) = 880803840000000000000000000000. - Klaus Brockhaus, Apr 19 2011

Computed with Magma using commands similar to those used to compute A154638.
