%N Value of k at the n-th step of A371359, where multiplied values are positive and divided values are negative.
%C Ratios of successive terms of A371359 (always the larger term over the smaller term) with a negative sign used to differentiate divisions from multiplications.
%e a(1)=2 because in the first step of A371359, to get from A371359(1)=1 to A371359(2)=2, we multiply by 2.
%e a(4)=-6 because in the fourth step of A371359, to get from A371359(4)=24 to A371359(5)=4, we divide by 6.
%Y Cf. A371359, A100708.
