%N Numerators of the partial sums of the reciprocals of the dodecagonal numbers (k + 1)*(5*k + 1) = A051624(k+1), for k >= 0.

%C The corresponding denominators are given in A294521.

%C For the general case V(m,r;n) = Sum_{k=0..n} 1/((k + 1)*(m*k + r)) = (1/(m - r))*Sum_{k=0..n} (m/(m*k + r) - 1/(k+1)), for r = 1, ..., m-1 and m = 2, 3, ..., and their limits see a comment in A294512. Here [m,r] = [5,1].

%C The limit of the series is V(5,1) = lim_{n -> oo} V(5,1;n) = ((5/2)*log(5) + (2*phi - 1)*(log(phi) + (Pi/5)*sqrt(3 + 4*phi)))/8, with the golden section phi:= (1 + sqrt(5))/2. The value is 1.17795605792266... given in A244649.

%F a(n) = numerator(V(5,1;n)) with V(5,1;n) = Sum_{k=0..n} 1/((k + 1)*(5*k + 1)) = Sum_{k=0..n} 1/A051624(k+1) = (1/4)*Sum_{k=0..n} (1/(k + 1/5) - 1/(k+1)) = (-Psi(1/5) + Psi(n+6/5) - (gamma + Psi(n+2)))/4, with the digamma function Psi and the Euler-Mascheroni constant gamma = -Psi(1) from A001620.

%e The rationals V(5,1;n), n >= 0, begin: 1, 13/12, 49/44, 795/704, 84179/73920, 366829/320320, 11417459/9929920, 103067441/89369280, 4235695001/3664140480, 97604192047/84275231040, 1661825059679/1432678927680, ...

%e V(5,1;10^6) = 1.177956058 (Maple, 10 digits) to be compared with 1.177956058 obtained from V(5,1) given in A244649.
