That first term is indeed -3, not 0 as I had, since we want the numerator 
and denominator to be coprime, and 1 is the only positive integer coprime 
to 0. 

But this sequence is interesting mainly because the k_th term is 
divisible by the k_th odd prime.

Could someone please (also) submit, if it is not already in the EIS, the 
above sequence divided by the appropriate odd primes?

-1, 0, 2, 62, 554, 74258,...

thanks,
