Comments

Starting with the fraction 1/1, generate the sequence of fractions A002533(i)/A002532(i) according to the rule: "add top and bottom to get the new bottom, add top and 6 times bottom to get the new top."

The prime numerators of these fractions are listed here, at locations i= 2, 3, 4, 5, 11, 17, 32, 53,... showing prime(4), prime(8), prime(21), prime(53), prime(34719),..

Is there an infinity of primes in this sequence?
