Formula

A118411(n)/A118412(n) = Sum_{i=1..n} (1/A000389(n)).

A118411(n)/A118412(n) = Sum_{i=1..n} (1/C(n,5)).

A118411(n)/A118412(n) = Sum_{i=1..n} (1/(n*(n+1)*(n+2)*(n+3)*(n+4)/120)).

Example

a(1) = 1 = numerator of 1/1.
a(2) = 7 = numerator of 7/6 = 1/1 + 1/6.
a(3) = 17 = numerator of 17/14 = 1/1 + 1/6 + 1/21.
a(4) = 69 = numerator of 69/56 = 1/1 + 1/6 + 1/21 + 1/56.
a(5) = 55 = numerator of 55/42 = 1/1 + 1/6 + 1/21 + 1/56 + 1/126.
a(10) = 1250 = numerator of 1250/1001 = 1/1+ 1/6 + 1/21 + 1/56 + 1/126 + 1/252 + 1/462 + 1/792 + 1/1287 + 1/2002.
a(20) = 53125 = numerator of 53125/42504 = 1/1 + 1/6 + 1/21 + 1/56 + 1/126 + 1/252 + 1/462 + 1/792 + 1/1287 + 1/2002 + 1/3003 + 1/4368 + 1/6188 + 1/8568 + 1/11628 + 1/15504 + 1/20349 + 1/26334 + 1/33649 + 1/42504.
