Formula

The sequence has the asymptotic behavior n^2/log(n). - Stefan Steinerberger, Mar 18 2006

(n*(n+1))/(2*log(n)) >= a(n) >= (n*(n+1))/(2*log(n)+2). - Stefan Steinerberger, Mar 18 2006

Example

a(5) = floor((1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5)/(1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + 1/5)) = floor(15/(137/60)) = floor(900/137) = 6.

Maple

a:= n-> floor(sum(i, i=1..n)/sum(1/i, i=1..n)):
seq(a(n), n=1..60);  # Alois P. Heinz, Aug 26 2015
