Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

A100616
Let B(n)(x) be the Bernoulli polynomials as defined in A001898, with B(n)(1) equal to the usual Bernoulli numbers A027641/A027642. Sequence gives denominators of B(n)(2).
