The numerators are given in A002657.
These coefficients (with alternating signs) are also known as the Nørlund [or Norlund, Noerlund or Nörlund] numbers.
A simple series with the signless Cauchy numbers of second type C2(n) leads to Euler's constant: gamma = 1 - Sum_{n >=1} C2(n)/(n*(n+1)!) = 1 - 1/4 - 5/72 - 1/32 - 251/14400 - 19/1728 - 19087/2540160 - ..., see references [Blagouchine] below, as well as A075266 and A262235. - Iaroslav V. Blagouchine, Sep 15 2015

FORMULA

Denominator of integral of x(x+1)...(x+n-1) from 0 to 1.
a(n) = denominator(n!*v(n)), where v(n) = 1 - Sum_{i=0..n-1} v(i)/(n-i+1), v(0)=1. - Vladimir Kruchinin, Aug 28 2013
