%N Denominators of array which counts positive rational numbers (not including natural numbers).

%C Numerators are given by A111879.

%C The method to obtain the rationals r(n,k) for row n is described under A111879.

%D P. Dienes, The Taylor Series, Dover 1957, p. 8, eq.(1).

%H W. Lang, <a href="/A111879/a111879.txt">Array of ratios and more.</a>

%F a(n, k)=denominator(r(n, k)), n>=3, k=1..phi(n)-1, with phi(n):=A000010(n) (Euler's totient function) and the ratios r(n, k) are defined for row n in A111879.

%e 2], [9, 7, 3],...

%e The corresponding rationals are: [1/2], [1/3], [1/4, 2/3, 3/2],

%e [1/5], [1/6, 2/5, 3/4, 4/3, 5/2], [1/7, 3/5, 5/3], [1/8, 2/7, 4/5, 5/4, 7/2],
