COMMENTS
Previous name was: Coefficients in Ramanujan's Euler-MacLaurin asymptotic expansion.
Explicitly, H_k = Sum_{i=1..k} 1/i = log(2*m)/2 + gamma + Sum_{n>=1} R_n/m^n, where m = k(k+1)/2 is the k-th triangular number. This sequence lists the denominators of R_n (numerators are listed in A238813). A few starting numerical terms were given by Euler and Ramanujan; the form of the general term and the behavior of the series were determined by Villarino. - Stanislav Sykora, Mar 05 2014

FORMULA
R_n = ((-1)^(n-1)/(2*n*8^n))*(1 + Sum_{i=1..n} (-4)^i*binomial(n,i)*B_2i(1/2));
a(n) = denominator(R_n), and B_2i(x) is the (2i)-th Bernoulli polynomial. - Stanislav Sykora, Mar 05 2014
EXAMPLE
R_9 = 140051/17459442 = A238813(9)/a(9).
