COMMENTS
Conjecture: The sequence contains only 1's and the primes.

FORMULA
a(n) = (4n - 3)/gcd(4n - 3, A051403(n-2) + 3*A051403(n-3)).
EXAMPLE
For n=3, 1/(2 - 3/(3 + 3)) = 2/3, so a(3)=3.
For n=4, 1/(2 - 3/(3 - 4/(4 + 3))) = 17/13, so a(4)=13.
For n=5, 1/(2 - 3/(3 - 4/(4 - 5/(5 + 3)))) = 49/17, so a(5)=17.
