COMMENTS
The sequence can also be obtained by taking a(1) = 1 and then multiplying the previous term by n if n is coprime to the previous term a(n-1), dividing the previous term by n if n divides the previous term a(n-1), taking a(n) = a(n-1) if n is unrelated to a(n-1). - Amarnath Murthy, Oct 30 2002 (corrected by Franklin T.
