COMMENTS

For the denominators see A095823.

e:=sum(1/k!,k=0..infty) has (trivial) upper bound r(n):= a(n)/A095823(n). See the W. Lang link.

FORMULA

a(n)= numerator(r(n)), with rational r(n):= sum(1/k!, k=0..n) + 1/(n*n!), n>=1, written in lowest terms. For n*n! see A001563(n).

EXAMPLE

The positive rationals r(n), n>=1: 3/1, 11/4, 49/18, 87/32, 1631/600, 11743/4320, 31967/11760, ...
