%N a(n) = number of Egyptian fractions 1 = 1/x_1 + ... + 1/x_k (for any k), 0<x_1<...<x_k=n.

%C For a given n, the Mathematica program uses backtracking to count the solutions. The solutions can be printed by uncommenting the print statement. It is very time-consuming for large n. A092671 gives the n that yield a(n) > 0. - _T. D. Noe_, Mar 26 2004

%F a(n) = A092670(n) - A092670(n-1).

%e a(6) = 1 since there is the only fraction 1 = 1/2+1/3+1/6.
