%N a(1) = 1, a(2) = 5. For n >= 3, a(n) is found by concatenating the first n-1 terms of the sequence and then dividing the resulting number by a(n-1).

%C The calculations for the first few values of the sequence are

%C ... a(3) = 15/5 = 3

%C ... a(4) = 153/3 = 51

%C ... a(5) = 15351/51 = 301

%C ... a(6) = 15351301/301 = 51001.

%C For similarly defined sequences see A181754, A184756 and A181864 through A181870.

%F DEFINITION

%F a(1) = 1, a(2) = 5, and for n >= 3

%F (1)... a(n) = concatenate(a(1),a(2),...,a(n-1))/a(n-1).

%F RECURRENCE RELATION

%F For n >= 2

%F (2)... a(n+2) = 10^F(n)*a(n)+1,

%F where F(n) = A000045(n) are the Fibonacci numbers.

%F For n >= 2, a(n) has F(n-1) digits.
