%H Matthew Campbell, <a href="/A260615/b260615.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..116505</a> The first 225 rows are in the b-file.

%e For row 3, the sum of the first three prime reciprocals equals 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/5 = 31/30. The continued fraction expansion of 31/30 is 1 + (1/30). Because of this, the terms in row 3 are 1 and 30.
