COMMENTS
The denominators are given by A164657.
Rationals (partial sums) Theta(5,n) := sum(1/(2*j-1)^5,j=1..n) (in lowest terms). The limit of these rationals is Theta(5)= (1-1/2^5)*Zeta(5) approximately 1.004523763.., see A013663.
This is a member of the k-family of rational sequences Theta(k,n):=sum(1/(2*j-1)^k,j=1..n), k>=1, which includes A025550/A025547 (but only for the first 38 entries), A120268/A128492, A164655(n)/A128507(n) (the denominators may depart for higher n values), A120269/A128493, a(n)/A164657, for k=1..5.
FORMULA
a(n) = numer(Theta(5,n))= numerator(sum(1/(2*j-1)^5,j=1..n)), n>=1.
Theta(5,n) = (-Psi(4, 1/2) + Psi(4, n+1/2))/(4!*2^5), n >= 1, with Psi(n,k) = Polygamma(n,k) is the n^th derivative of the digamma function. Psi(4, 1/2) = -4!*31*Zeta(5). - Jean-François Alcover, Dec 02 2013
EXAMPLE
Rationals Theta(5,n): [1, 244/243, 762743/759375, 12820180976/12762815625, 3115356499043/3101364196875,...].
MATHEMATICA
r[n_] := Sum[1/(2*j-1)^5, {j, 1, n}]; (* or r[n_] := (PolyGamma[4, n+1/2] - PolyGamma[4, 1/2])/768 // FullSimplify; *) Table[r[n] // Numerator, {n, 1, 12}] (* Jean-François Alcover, Dec 02 2013 *)
