%N a(0) = 1; for n>1, a(n) is the numerator of b(n) = Product_{i=1..n} (prime(i)^2 + 1)/(prime(i)^2 - 1).

%C The limit of b(n) is 5/2.

%e b(1) = (2^2 + 1)/(2^2 - 1) = 5/3, so a(1) = 5.

%e b(2) = 5/3 * (3^2 + 1)/(3^2 - 1) = 25/12, so a(2) = 25.

%e b(3) = 25/12 * (5^2 + 1)/(5^2 - 1) = 325/144, so a(3) = 325.

%e b(4) = 325/144 * (7^2 + 1)/(7^2 - 1) = 8125/3456, so a(4) = 8125.
