The numerator and denominator in the definition have no common factors >1.

Numerator of ( HarmonicNumber[n] - 1 ). - Alexander Adamchuk (alex(AT)kolmogorov.com), Jun 09 2006

p divides a(p-2) for prime p>3. - Alexander Adamchuk (alex(AT)kolmogorov.com), Jun 09 2006

It appears that a(n) = numerator((3*(HarmonicNumber(n)-1)) / (n*(n^2+6*n+11)), except for n = 5, 82, 115, and 383 (tested to 20,000). [From Gary Detlefs, Jul 20 2011]

FORMULA

Numerators of gamma+Psi(n+1)-1. - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Aug 12 2002

a(n) = Numerator[ Sum[ 1/k, {k,2,n} ]]. a(n) = A001008(n) - A002805(n). a(n) = Numerator[ HarmonicNumber[n] - 1 ] a(n) = Numerator[ A001008(n)/A002805(n) -1 ] - Alexander Adamchuk (alex(AT)kolmogorov.com), Jun 09 2006

a(n)= Numerator of A027612(n-1)/(A027611(n)*n^2*(n-1)!),n>1. [From Gary Detlefs, Aug 05 2011]

a(n)= Numerator(sum(1/(3*k+3),k=1..n-1))[From Gary Detlefs, Sep 14 2011]

a(n)= Numerator(sum(2/(k+2),k=0..n-1))[From Gary Detlefs, Oct 06 2011]

EXAMPLE

The 3rd harmonic number is 11/6. So a(3) = 11 - 6 = 5.
