%N A076476 Fractions a(n)/n are such that gcd(a(n),n)=1, a(n) > 0 and a(n) is as 
               small as possible so that the partial sums of the fractions have 
               prime numerator. Let a(1)=1.
%C A076476 By Dirichlet's Theorem, it is always possible to find the next term. 
               See A076477 for the list of primes appearing in the numerator. The 
               denominators of these sums are the same as for harmonic numbers, 
               A002805. The sum of the fractions diverges. Is there an upper bound 
               for a(n)/n?
%e A076476 a(4) = 3 because 1/4 yields 1/1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 = 25/12, but 3/4 yields 
               1/1 + 1/2 + 1/3 + 3/4 = 31/12.
%t A076476 nMax = 100; lst = {1}; numer = {1}; s = 1; Do[k = 1; While[GCD[k, n] 
               > 1 || ! PrimeQ[Numerator[s + k/n]], k++ ]; s = s + k/n; AppendTo[lst, 
               k]; AppendTo[numer, Numerator[s]]; k++, {n, 2, nMax}]; lst
