A sequence of numbers is defined recursively by a1=1a_1 = 1 , a2=37a_2 = \frac{3}{7} , and an=an2an12an2an1a_n=\frac{a_{n-2} \cdot a_{n-1}}{2a_{n-2} - a_{n-1}} for all n3n \geq 3 . Then a2019a_{2019} can be written as pq\frac{p}{q} , where pp and qq are relatively prime positive integers. What is p+q?p+q ?
