From the expansion of 1/sqrt(1-x) for x=4/5. %H A123747 W. Lang: Rationals and more. %F A123747 a(n)=numerator(r(n)) with the rationals r(n):=sum(binomial(2*k,k)/5^k, k=0..n) in lowest terms. %F A123747 r(n)=sum(((2*k-1)!!/((2*k)!!)*(4/5)^k,k=0..n),n>=0, with the double factorials A001147 and A000165. %e A123747 a(3)=9 because r(3)= 1+2/5+6/25+4/25 = 9/5 = a(3)/A123748(3). %Y A123747 Cf.
