A073098 a(1)=2, a(n) is the smallest positive integer such that the continued fraction for 1/a(1)+1/a(2)+....+1/a(n) contains strictly more elements than the continued fraction for 1/a(1)+1/a(2)+....+1/a(n-1). 0

%N a(1)=2, a(n) is the smallest positive integer such that the continued fraction for 1/a(1)+1/a(2)+....+1/a(n) contains strictly more elements than the continued fraction for 1/a(1)+1/a(2)+....+1/a(n-1).

%e The continued fraction for 1/a(1)+1/a(2)+1/a(3)+1/a(4) is [1, 2, 2, 1, 4] with 5 elements. The continued fraction for (1/2+1/3+1/11+1/2+1/5) is [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 20] which contains 7 elements and 5 is the smallest integer with this property, hence a(5)=5.
