Comments

a(n+1) is, for n >= 0, also the numerator of the partial sums of the reciprocal of the positive decagonal numbers A001107(n+1) with the denominators A294515(n) (provided A294515(n) = A250550(n+1)/(n+1)). - Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 02 2017

Formula

a(n) = denominator(r(n)) with the rationals r(n) = n/Sum_{k=1..n} A001107(n), n >= 1. See the name. - Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 02 2017

Example

a(3) = 307 because the first 3 positive decagonal numbers A001107 are [1,10,27], and 3/(1/1+1/10+1/27) = 810/307.
