A075189 Number of unique primes in the numerator of the 2^n sums generated from the set 1, 1/2, 1/3,..., 1/n. 3
0, 1, 3, 6, 14, 20, 38, 74, 134, 232, 486, 526, 1078, 2036, 2505, 4762, 9929, 14598, 29831, 31521 (list; graph; refs; listen; history; internal format)

COMMENTS

Every prime is generated eventually. For the largest generated prime, see A075226. For the smallest odd prime not generated, see A075227.

EXAMPLE

a(3) = 3 because 3 sums yield unique prime numerators: 1+1/2 = 3/2, 1/2+1/3 = 5/6 and 1+1/2+1/3 = 11/6.

MATHEMATICA
