COMMENT

Or, smallest b such that 1/n+1/c=1/b has integer solutions.

Largest b is (n-1) since 1/n+1/(n(n-1))=1/(n-1).

FORMULA

a(n) = n*A063427(n)/(n+A063427(n)) =2n-A063649(n)

If n is prime a(n)=n-1. - Benoit Cloitre (benoit7848c(AT)orange.fr), Dec 31 2001

EXAMPLE

a(6) = 2 because 6*3/(6+3)=2 is the smallest integer of the form 6*k/(6+k).

a(10) = 5 since 1/10+1/10 = 1/5, 1/10+1/15 = 1/6, 1/10+1/40 = 1/8, 1/10+1/90 = 1/9, and so the first sum provides the value.
