FORMULA
|
a(n) = (n^2 + n - 3)/gcd(n^2 + n - 3, 3*A051403(n-3) + n*A051403(n-4)).
If gpf(n^2 + n - 3) > n, then we have:
a(n) = gpf(n^2 + n - 3), where gpf = "greatest prime factor".
If a(n) = a(m) and n < m < a(n), then we have:
a(n) = n + m + 1.
a(n) divides gcd(n^2 + n - 3, m^2 + m - 3).

EXAMPLE
|
For n=3, 1/(2 - 3/(-3)) = 1/3, so a(3) = 3.
For n=4, 1/(2 - 3/(3 - 4/(-3))) = 13/17, so a(4) = 17.
For n=5, 1/(2 - 3/(3 - 4/(4 - 5/(-3)))) = 13/9, so a(5) = 9.
a(4) = a(12) = 4 + 12 + 1 = 17.
a(7) = a(45) = 7 + 45 + 1 = 53.
