%N Denominators of the slowest decreasing sequence of unit fractions whose partial sums have a prime numerator.

%C By Dirichlet's Theorem, it is always possible to find the next term. See A076475 for the list of primes appearing in the numerator. Does this sum of unit fractions converge?

%e For example, 1/1 + 1/2 = 3/2, 1/1 + 1/2 + 1/3 = 11/6. However, 1/4 is not in the sequence because 1/1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 = 25/12 and 25 is not prime.

%t nMax = 100; lst = {1}; numer = {1}; s = 1; i = 2; Do[While[ ! PrimeQ[Numerator[s + 1/i]], i++ ]; s = s + 1/i; AppendTo[lst, i]; AppendTo[numer, Numerator[s]]; i++, {n, 2, nMax}]; lst

%Y Cf. A076475.
