COMMENTS
The polynomial p(n,x) is defined as the numerator when the sum 1 + 1/(n*x + 1) + 1/((n*x + 1)(n*x + 2)) + ... + 1/((n*x + 1)(n*x + 2)...(n*x + n - 1)) is written as a fraction with denominator (n*x + 1)(n*x + 2)...(n*x + n - 1).
These polynomials occur in connection with factorials of numbers of the form [n/k] = floor(n/k); e.g., Sum_{n >= 0} ([n/k]!^k)/n! = Sum_{n >= 0} (n!^k)*p(k,n)/(k*n + k - 1)!.

EXAMPLE
The first six polynomials:
p(1,x) = 1
p(2,x) = 2 (x + 1)
p(3,x) = 9x^2 + 12 x + 5
p(4,x) = 4 (16 x^3 + 28 x^2 + 17 x + 4)
p(5,x) = 5 (125 x^4 + 275 x^3 + 225 x^2 + 84 x + 13)
p(6,x) = 2 (3888 x^5 + 10368 x^4 + 10800 x^3 + 5562 x^2 + 1455 x + 163)
