A330014 When prime(n) is an odd prime (n >= 2) and N(n) / D(n) = Sum_{k=1..prime(n)-1} 1/k^3, then prime(n) divides N(n) and a(n) = N(n) / prime(n). 0

%N When prime(n) is an odd prime (n >= 2) and N(n) / D(n) = Sum_{k=1..prime(n)-1} 1/k^3, then prime(n) divides N(n) and a(n) = N(n) / prime(n).

%C The idea of this sequence comes from the 1st exercise of "sélection de la délégation française" in 2005 for IMO 2006 where it was asked to prove that prime(n) divides N(n) [See reference].

%C The first fractions N(n)/D(n) are 9/8, 2035/1728, 28567/24000, 19164113947/16003008000, 25535765062457/21300003648000, ...

%e For prime(4) = 7 then 1 + 1/2^3 + 1/3^3 + 1/4^3 + 1/5^3 + 1/6^3 = 28567/24000 and 28567/7 = 4081, a(4) = 4081.
