Comments

The initial terms coincide with those of A003951, although the two sequences are eventually different.

First disagreement at index 28: a(28) = 21760664753063325144711132, A003951(28) = 21760664753063325144711168. - Klaus Brockhaus, May 24 2011

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