COMMENTS
| For when a(n)=n, see A112875; this begins: 1,2,4,8,9,16,27,32,64,81,...,.
Conjecture: a(n)<=n for all positive n's.

EXAMPLE
| a(5) = 4 because H(4) = 25/12 is the first harmonic number with either its numerator or denominator divisible by 5.
a(6) = 3 because H(3) = 11/6 is the first harmonic number with either its numerator or denominator divisible by 6.
