COMMENT

These partial sums, like the harmonic sequence (A004080), can never be integers.

Limit as n -> inf. of a(n+1)/a(n) = e.

EXAMPLE

a(1) = 1 because 1/4 + 1/6 + 1/8 + 1/9 + 1/10 + 1/12 + 1/14 + 1/15 + 1/16 =~ 1.0367063492... > 1.

MATHEMATICA

NextComposite[n_] := Block[{k = n + 1}, While[ PrimeQ[k], k++ ]; k]; k = 4; s = 0; Do[ While[s = s + 1/k; s < n, k = NextComposite[k]]; Print[k]; k = NextComposite[k], {n, 1, 17}]

CROSSREFS
