A069257 Denominator of the last term of the Egyptian fraction sum (using the greedy algorithm) which satisfies 1 = 1/n + 1/(n+1) + 1/(n+2) ... 1/a(n). 2

%N Denominator of the last term of the Egyptian fraction sum (using the greedy algorithm) which satisfies 1 = 1/n + 1/(n+1) + 1/(n+2) ... 1/a(n).

%C The next term in the series, a(11), is 7*10^192.

%e Since 1 = 1/3 + 1/4 + 1/5 + 1/6 + 1/20, a(3) = 20.

%t a[n_] := Module[{s = 1/n, k = n}, While[s < 1, k = Max[k + 1, Ceiling[1/(1 - s)]]; s += 1/k]; k]; Array[a, 9, 2] (* _Amiram Eldar_, Oct 18 2019 *)
