COMMENT

a(n) is the largest odd Egyptian fraction as yet unused, such that the sum of Egyptian fractions so far does not exceed 1. The sum of a(n) is a greedy representation (greedy because each step bites off as much as possible) of 1, using only odd Egyptian fractions, all distinct.

EXAMPLE

E.g. a(8)=721 because 1/721 is the largest odd Egyptian fraction less than 1-1/a(1)-1/a(2)-1/a(3)-1/a(4)-1/a(5)-1/a(6)-1/a(7).
