COMMENTS

Denominators of sums over central binomial coefficients scaled by powers of 5.

Numerators are given by A123747.

For the rationals r(n) see the W. Lang link under A123747.

FORMULA

a(n)=denominator(r(n)) with the rationals r(n):=sum(binomial(2*k,k)/5^k,k=0..n) in lowest terms.

r(n)=sum(((2*k-1)!!/((2*k)!!)*(4/5)^k,k=0..n),n>=0, with the double factorials A001147 and A000165.

EXAMPLE

a(3)=5 because r(3)= 1+2/5+6/25+4/25 = 9/5 = A123747(3)/a(3).
