A051882 Call m strict-sense Egyptian if we can partition m = x_1+x_2+...+x_k into distinct positive integers x_i such that Sum_{i=1..k} 1/x_i = 1; sequence gives all numbers that are not strict-sense Egyptian. 3

COMMENTS

Lehmer shows that 77 is in this sequence. Graham shows that it is the last member of the sequence.

EXAMPLE

1=1/2+1/3+1/6, so 2+3+6=11 is strict-sense Egyptian.
