The next term, A094661(53) ~ 1.497*10^100, is too large to include.
It might be preferable to record the index of these primes in A094661: a(n)=A094661(b(n)) with b=(1,2,3,4,7,32,53,55,94,183,189,...). - M. F. Hasler, Mar 06 2009
FORMULA
A094662 = A094661 intersect A000040.
EXAMPLE
3/2 + 5/3 + 7/5 + 11/7 + 13/11 + 17/13 + 19/17 = 4975049/510510. 4975049 is prime, the fifth entry in the sequence.
