Comments

The corresponding denominators are given in A294835.

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] = [6,1].

The limit of the series is V(6,1) = lim_{n -> oo} V(6,1;n) = (3/10)*log(3) + (2/5)*log(2) + (1/10)*Pi*sqrt(3). The value is 1.150982368094676386... given in A275792.

Formula

a(n) = numerator(V(6,1;n)) with V(6,1;n) = Sum_{k=0..n} 1/((k + 1)*(6*k + 1)) = Sum_{k=0..n} 1/A051866(k+1) = (1/5)*Sum_{k=0..n} (1/(k + 1/6) - 1/(k + 1)) = (-Psi(1/6) + Psi(n+7/6) - (gamma + Psi(n+2)))/5 with the digamma function Psi and the Euler-Mascheroni constant gamma = -Psi(1) from A001620.

Example

The rationals V(6,1;n), n >= 0, begin: 1, 15/14, 599/546, 23035/20748, 2900123/2593500, 30112021/26799500, 1117973277/991581500, 96393597197/85276009000, 6084978910411/5372388567000, 67042215785861/59096274237000, 4094947551504521/3604872728457000, ...
V(6,1;10^6) = 1.150982200 (Maple, 10 digits) to be compared with the ten digits 1.150982368 obtained from V(6,1) given in A275792.
