A136375 - OEIS

A136375

Irregular array read by rows, where n-th row gives denominators of the Egyptian fraction expansion, derived using the greedy algorithm, for the absolute value of the fractional part of the (2n)th Bernoulli number.

30,

14, 231

4, 322, 125580

...

The 10th Bernoulli number is 5/66. The largest unit fraction <= 5/66 is 1/14. Now 5/66 - 1/14 is 1/231, which is itself a unit fraction. So the Egyptian fraction representation of 5/66 is 1/14 + 1/231. Therefore row 5 of this array is (14,231).
