Numbers k such that fract(e^k) < 1/k, where fract(x) = x-floor(x).
The next such number must be greater than 100000.
a(12) > 300000. - Robert Price, Mar 23 2019
EXAMPLE
a(4) = 9 since fract(e^9) = 0.08392... < 1/9, but fract(e^k) = 0.598..., 0.413..., 0.428..., 0.633..., 0.957... for 4 <= k <= 8, which are all greater than 1/k.
