Examples
The first few fractions are 1/2, 7/6, 37/20, 533/210, 1627/504, 18107/4620, 237371/51480, ... = A117731/A296519. For n=2, the n X n Hilbert matrix is 1 1/2 1/2 1/3 Thus, a(2) = numerator(1 + 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/3) = numerator(7/3) = 7. The n X n Hilbert matrix begins as follows: 1 1/2 1/3 1/4 1/5 1/6 1/7 1/8 ... 1/2 1/3 1/4 1/5 1/6 1/7 1/8 1/9 ... 1/3 1/4 1/5 1/6 1/7 1/8 1/9 1/10 ... 1/4 1/5 1/6 1/7 1/8 1/9 1/10 1/11 ... 1/5 1/6 1/7 1/8 1/9 1/10 1/11 1/12 ... 1/6 1/7 1/8 1/9 1/10 1/11 1/12 1/13 ... ...

[numerator(n*(harmonic_number(2*n,1) - harmonic_number(n,1))) for n in range(1,41)] # G. C. Greubel, Jul 24 2023
Formula
a(n) = numerator(n*Sum_{k=1..n} 1/(n+k)).
a(n) = numerator(n*(Psi(2*n+1) - Psi(n+1))).
a(n) = numerator(n*Sum_{k=1..2*n} (-1)^(k+1)/k).
a(n) = numerator(Sum_{j=1..n} Sum_{i=1..n} 1/(i+j-1)), which is the numerator of the sum of all matrix elements of n X n Hilbert Matrix M(i,j) = 1/(i+j-1), (i,j = 1..n). The denominator is A117664(n). - Alexander Adamchuk, Apr 23 2006
