COMMENT
|
It is known that this sequence is always nonnegative - see references.
Comment from Paul Mills, Feb 14 2002: lcm(1,2,3...n) = n* lcm( binomial(n-1,0), binomial(n-1,1),..., binomial(n-1,n-1)) - see American Mathematical Monthly E2686.

EXAMPLE
|
Let n=4. Then n*=12 and 2^(4-1)=8. Then we calculate 12-8=4 to be the second term of the sequence.
