COMMENTS
The denominators are given in A101632.
Third member (m=5) of a family defined in A101028.
The limit s = lim_{n->oo} s(n) with the s(n) defined below equals 24*Sum_{k>=1} zeta(2*k+1)/5^(2*k) with Euler's (or Riemann's) Zeta function. This limit is -24*(gamma + Psi(1/5) + 5/2 + Pi*cot(Pi/5)/2) = 1.1954056019...; see a comment in A101028 following from the Abramowitz-Stegun reference (given in A101028) p. 259, eq. 6.3.15 with z=1/5 together with p. 258.

FORMULA
a(n) = numerator(s(n)) where s(n) = 120*Sum_{k=1..n} 1/((5*k-1)*(5*k)*(5*k+1)) = 24*Sum_{k=1..n} 1/((5*k-1)*k*(5*k+1)).
EXAMPLE
s(3) = 120*(1/(4*5*6) + 1/(9*10*11) + 1/(14*15*16)) = 1069/924, hence a(3)=1069 and A101632(3)=924.
