Let the sequence { a n } n = 1 β \{a_n\}_{n=1}^{\beta} be defined as a 1 = 3 a_1 = \sqrt{3} , a 2 = 1 a_2= 1 , and a n + 2 a n a n + 1 a n + 2 = a n + a n + 1 a_{n+2} - a_na_{n+1}a_{n+2} = a_n + a_{n+1} for positive integers 1 n α 2 1 \le n \le \alpha - 2 . Let the sequence { b n } n = 1 β \{b_n\}_{n=1}^{\beta} be defined as b 1 = 3 b_1 = -\sqrt3 , b 2 = 1 b_2 = 1 , and b n + 2 b n b n + 1 b n + 2 = b n + b n + 1 b_{n+2} - b_nb_{n+1}b_{n+2} = b_n + b_{n+1} for positive integers 1 n β 2 1 \le n \le \beta - 2 . Find the product of the largest possible integer values of α \alpha and β \beta .
