%N Numerator of the product of n and the n-th alternating harmonic number, Sum_{k=1..n} (-1)^(k+1)/k.

%C a(n) almost always equals A058313(n), which is the numerator of the n-th alternating harmonic number, Sum ((-1)^(k+1)/k, k=1..n), except for n = 15, 28, 75, 77, 104, ... The ratio a(n)/A058313(n) for n = 1..400 is given in A119788.

%F a(n) = numerator(Sum_{k=1..n} (-1)^(k+1)*n/k).

%e The first few fractions are 1, 1, 5/2, 7/3, 47/12, 37/10, 319/60, 533/105, 1879/280, ... = A119787/A334721. - _Petros Hadjicostas_, May 08 2020

%t Numerator[Table[Sum[(-1)^(i+1)*n/i, {i, 1, n}],{n,1,50}]]

%o (PARI) a(n) = numerator(n*sum(k=1, n, (-1)^(k+1)/k)); \\ _Michel Marcus_, May 09 2020
