COMMENT

From the Von Staudt-Clausen theorem, denominator(B_2n) = product of primes p such that (p-1)|2n.

Row products of A138239. - Mats Granvik (mgranvik(AT)abo.fi), Mar 08 2008

Equals row products of even rows in triangle A143343. In triangle A080092, row products = denominators of B1, B2, B4, B6,... [From Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Aug 09 2008]

Julius Worpitzky's 1883 algorithm for generating Bernoulli numbers is shown in A028246. [From Gary W. Adamson (qntmpkt(AT)yahoo.com), Aug 09 2008]

FORMULA

E.g.f: t/(e^t - 1).

B_{2n}/(2n)! = 2*(-1)^(n-1)*(2*Pi)^(-2n) Sum_{k=1..inf} 1/k^(2n) (gives asymptotics) - Rademacher, p. 16, Eq. (9.1). In particular, B_{2*n} ~ (-1)^(n-1)*2*(2*n)!/(2*Pi)^(2*n).

EXAMPLE

B_{2n} = [ 1, 1/6, -1/30, 1/42, -1/30, 5/66, -691/2730, 7/6, -3617/510,... ].

PROGRAM

(PARI) a(n)=prod(p=2, 2*n+1, if(isprime(p), if((2*n)%(p-1), 1, p), 1)) (Benoit Cloitre)
