When written in hexadecimal the terms are 1, 12, 35, 8D, 15E, 240, 242, 264, 2A6, 309, 39C, 460, 464, 4A8, 52D, 603, 639, 6CF, 7C6, 82E, 917, 990, 999, A33, A6D, B48, BD3, C0F, D0C, DD9, ...
Finite with last term a(144693554136426354) = 18446744073709551480, which is FFFFFFFFFFFFFF78 in hexadecimal. - Michael S. Branicky, Nov 18 2023
