Comments

Also denominator of zeta(n) - Hurwitz zeta(n,n+1), where zeta(s) is the Riemann zeta function and Hurwitz zeta(s,a) is the Hurwitz zeta function.

Sum_{k>=1} 1/k^n = zeta(n).

Example

1, 5/4, 251/216, 22369/20736, 806108207/777600000, 47464376609/46656000000, 774879868932307123/768464444160000000, ...
a(3) = 216, because 1/1^3 + 1/2^3 + 1/3^3 = 251/216.
