Formula

a(n, k)=denominator(r(n, k)), n>=3, k=1..phi(n)-1, with phi(n):=A000010(n) (Euler's totient function) and the ratios r(n, k) are defined for row n in A111879.

[2], [3], [4, 3, 2], [5], [6, 5, 4, 3, 2], [7, 5, 3], [8, 7, 5, 4,
2], [9, 7, 3],...
The corresponding rationals are: [1/2], [1/3], [1/4, 2/3, 3/2],
[1/5], [1/6, 2/5, 3/4, 4/3, 5/2], [1/7, 3/5, 5/3], [1/8, 2/7, 4/5, 5/4, 7/2],
