Comments

Numerators are given under A120780.

The listed numbers coincide with denominators of sum(C(k)/(-8)^k,k=0..n). For the numerators see A120789. In general these denominators may be different. See e.g. A120783 versus A120793 and A120787 versus A120796.

Formula

a(n)=denominator(r(n)), with the rationals r(n):=sum(C(k)/8^k,k=0..n) with C(k):=A000108(k) (Catalan numbers).
