Use the Frobenius problem: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coin_problem
since gcd(52,133)=1 the maximum value not in the sequence is
52*133-52-133=6731 even using only 52 and 133, by a simple dp code you can
check all values up to this limit and in fact n=327 is the maximum not in
the original sequence.
