%N a(n+1) = abs(a(n) - gcd(a(n), 9n+8)), u(1) = 1.
%C It is conjectured that for all n > 2, u(n) = 0 implies that u(n+1) = 9n+8 is prime, cf. A186261. (This is the sequence {u(n)} mentioned there.)
%e a(2) = a(1) - gcd(a(1),9+8) = 1 - 1 = 0.
%e a(3) = |a(2) - gcd(a(2),9*2+8)| = gcd(0,26) = 26.
%e a(3+26) = a(29) = 0 and a(29+1) = gcd(0,9*29+8) = 269 is prime.
