Example

The first few fractions are 0/1, 1/2, 5/6, 14/15, 103/105, 1154/1155, 1336333/1336335, 892896284279/892896284280, ...

Maple

s:= proc(n) s(n):= `if`(n=0, 0, s(n-1)+1/(ithprime(n)*b(n))) end:
b:= proc(n) b(n):= 1+floor(1/((1-s(n-1))*ithprime(n))) end:
a:= n-> numer(s(n)):
seq(a(n), n=0..10);  # Alois P. Heinz, Oct 18 2024

Mathematica

s[n_] := s[n] = If[n == 0, 0, s[n - 1] + 1/(Prime[n]*b[n])];
b[n_] := b[n] = 1 + Floor[1/((1 - s[n - 1])*Prime[n])];
a[n_] := Numerator[s[n]];
Table[a[n], {n, 0, 10}] (* Jean-François Alcover, Apr 22 2025, after Alois P. Heinz *)
