MAPLE

# produce sequence

s1:=(a, b, M)->[seq( (a^n-b^n)/(a-b), n=0..M)];

# find primes and their indices

s2:=proc(s) local t1, t2, i; t1:=[]; t2:=[];

for i from 1 to nops(s) do if isprime(s[i]) then

t1:=[op(t1), s[i]];

t2:=[op(t2), i-1]; fi; od; RETURN(t1, t2); end;

# get primitive prime divisors in order

s3:=proc(s) local t2, t3, i, j, k, np; t2:=[]; np:=0;

for i from 1 to nops(s) do t3:=ifactors(s[i])[2];

for j from 1 to nops(t3) do p := t3[j][1]; new:=1;

for k from 1 to np do if p = t2[k] then new:= -1; break; fi; od;

if new = 1 then np:=np+1; t2:=[op(t2), p]; fi; od; od;

RETURN(t2); end;
