%F A132181 Comments from Owen Whitby (whitbyo(AT)acm.org), May 07 2008 (Start): 
               Successive terms a(.) can be calculated using the following recurrences 
               for the numerator n(.) and denominator d(.) of the product.
%F A132181 a(1)=1; n(1)=1, d(1)=1 ==> a(2)=1, n(2)=2, d(2)=1 ( to start things off 
               );
%F A132181 n(i)=2, d(i)= odd ==> a(i+1)=q-1, n(i+1)=q, d(i+1)=d(i)(q-1)/2 where 
               q is least odd prime not dividing d(i);
%F A132181 n(i)=odd prime, d(i)=1 ==> a(i+1)=c*n(i), n(i+1)=c*n(i)+1, d(i+1)=c where 
               c is least even integer such that c*n(i)+1 is prime;
%F A132181 n(i)=odd prime, d(i)=even ==> a(i+1)=1, n(i+1)=n(i), d(i+1)=d(i)/2;
%F A132181 n(i)=odd prime, d(i)= odd>=3 ==> a(i+1)=p-1, n(i+1)=n(i), d(i+1)=d(i)(p-1)/
               p where p is least prime divisor of d(i). (End)
