BALTIC-WAY 1996 Problem 8

  • Answer

Consider the sequence

x1=19,x2=95,xn+2=lcm⁡(xn+1,xn)+xn,\begin{aligned} x_{1} & =19, \\ x_{2} & =95, \\ x_{n+2} & =\operatorname{lcm}\left(x_{n+1}, x_{n}\right)+x_{n}, \end{aligned}

for n>1n>1, where lcm⁡(a,b)\operatorname{lcm}(a, b) means the least common multiple of aa and bb. Find the greatest common divisor of x1995x_{1995} and x1996x_{1996}.
