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”).

%N Irregular array read by rows, where n-th row gives denominators of the Egyptian fraction expansion, derived using the greedy algorithm, for the absolute value of the fractional part of the (2n)th Bernoulli number.

%e The 10th Bernoulli number is 5/66. The largest unit fraction <= 5/66 is 1/14. Now 5/66 - 1/14 is 1/231, which is itself a unit fraction. So the Egyptian fraction representation of 5/66 is 1/14 + 1/231. Therefore row 5 of this array is (14,231).
