A225200 Triangle (read by rows) of coefficients of the polynomials (in ascending order) of the denominators of the generalized sequence of fractions f(n) defined recursively by f(1) = m/1; f(n+1) is chosen so that the sum and the product of the first n terms of the sequence are equal.

Comments

The degree of the polynomial in row n > 1 is 2^(n-2), hence the number of coefficients in row n > 1 is given by 2^(n-2) + 1 = A094373(n-1).

For n > 2 a new row always begins and ends with 1.

The sum and product of the generalized sequence of fractions given by m^(2^(n-2)) divided by the polynomial p(n) are equal, i.e.,

m + m/(m-1) = m * m/(m-1) = m^2/(m-1);

m + m/(m-1) + m^2/(m^2-m+1) = m * m/(m-1) * m^2/(m^2-m+1) = m^4/(m^3-2*m^2+2*m-1).
