COMMENTS
| For the smallest odd prime not generated, see A075227. For information about how often the numerator of these sums is prime, see A075188 and A075189. The Mathematica program also prints the subset that yields the largest prime. For n <=20, the largest prime occurs in a sum of n-2, n-1, or n reciprocals.

EXAMPLE
| a(3) =11 because 11 is largest prime numerator in the three sums that yield primes: 1+1/2 = 3/2, 1/2+1/3 = 5/6 and 1+1/2+1/3 = 11/6.
