%N Denominators of sequence of fractions of primes that minimize absolute value of difference between the fractions and 1/4.

%C For n = 2, there are two primes available for use in numerator or denominator: 2,3. The best approximation to 1/4 is 2/3. Sequence begins at n = 2.

%e For n=2, there are two primes available to approximate 1/4. The closest fraction in absolute value is 2/3. The first few approximating fractions are: 2/3, 2/5, 2/7, 3/11, 3/13,...

%o (PARI) afr(n) = {kdiff = 1; fp = primes(n); for (i=1, n, num = fp[i]; for (j=1, n, den = fp[j]; diff = abs(num/den - 1/4); if (diff <= kdiff, kdiff = diff; knum = num; kden = den;););); return(knum/kden);}

%o a(n) = denominator(afr(n)); \\ _Michel Marcus_, Jun 12 2013 & Mar 21 2016
