FORMULA

a(n) = round(exp(gamma)*n*(n+1) + gamma) where gamma is the Euler-Mascheroni constant 0.57714... (A001620). - Carl R. White, Sep 01 2021

a(n) = A226184(n) + n. - Michel Marcus, Sep 09 2021

EXAMPLE

a(3) = 22 because 1/4 + 1/5 + ... + 1/21 < 1 + 1/2 + 1/3 < 1/4 + 1/5 + ... + 1/22.

MATHEMATICA
