%N A102469 Largest prime factor of numerator of Sum_{k=0...n} 1/k!, with a(0) = 1.
%C A102469 It appears that a(n) = A102468(n) (Smarandache number of the same numerator) except when n = 3. The largest prime factor of the corresponding denominator is A007917(n) for n > 1. Omitting the 0th term in the sum, it appears that the largest prime factor and the Kempner number A002034, of the numerator of Sum_{k=1...n} 1/k! are both equal to A096058(n).
