Let (an)n1(a_n)_{n\ge 1} be a sequence of positive integers defined as a1,a2>0a_1,a_2>0 and an+1a_{n+1} is the least prime divisor of an1+ana_{n-1}+a_{n}, for all n2n\ge 2.
Prove that a real number xx whose decimals are digits of the numbers a1,a2,an,a_1,a_2,\ldots a_n,\ldots written in order, is a rational number.
