COMMENTS
The prime terms of the sequence can be divided only by 1 and themselves. Hence the huge numbers.

EXAMPLE
a(1) = 1 is divisible by the digital sum of a(2) = 10 as 1 + 0 = 1;
a(2) = 10 is divisible by the digital sum of a(3) = 2 which is 2;
a(3) = 2 is divisible by the digital sum of a(4) = 11 as 1 + 1 = 2;
a(4) = 11 is divisible by the digital sum of a(5) = 29 as 2 + 9 = 11; etc.
