FORMULA

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.

a(1)=1; n(1)=1, d(1)=1 ==> a(2)=1, n(2)=2, d(2)=1 ( to start things off );

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);

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;

n(i)=odd prime, d(i)=even ==> a(i+1)=1, n(i+1)=n(i), d(i+1)=d(i)/2;

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)
