FORMULA
a(n) = x(n)/GCD(x(n),y(n)).
where x(n) = 2*(a(n-1)^3*A248042(n-1)^2 + A248042(n-1)^5); y(n) = 3*a(n-1)^2*A248042(n-1)^3; x(0) = y(0) = 1.
EXAMPLE
CubeRoot(2) approximations:
n = 1: 4/3 = 1.33333...; error = 0.07341...
n = 2: 91/72 = 1.26388...; error = 0.00396...
n = 3: 1126819/894348 = 1.25993...; error = 0.00001...
