Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

A305665
Denominators of the fraction Sum_{n>=0} {a(n)/a(n+1)} = a(0)/a(1) + a(1)/a(2) + a(2)/a(3) + ... such that the sum has the concatenation of these denominators as decimal part. Case a(0) = 1 and a(1) = 4.

COMMENTS
It appears that there are only three sequences of this kind, with a(1) = 3 (A305664), a(1) = 4 (this sequence) and a(1) = 10 (A305666).
a(6) has 110 digits. - Giovanni Resta, Jun 08 2018

1/4 = 0.3333...
1/4 + 4/23 = 0.3407043...
1/4 + 4/23 + 23/937574= 0.34076600381136...
The sum is 0.3 407 6600381 ...
