    Let c≥3c\ge3 be an integer, and define the sequence a1,a2,…a_1,a_2,\dots by the recurrence a1=c2−1a_1=c^2-1, an+1=an3−3an2+3a_{n+1}=a_n^3-3a_n^2+3 (n=1,2,…)(n=1,2,\ldots). Show that for every integer n≥2n\ge2, the number ana_n has a prime divisor that does not divide any of a1,…,an−1a_1,\ldots,a_{n-1}.
