COMMENTS

Largest c is n(n+1) since 1/n=1/(n(n+1))+1/(n+1)

LINKS

Table of n, a(n) for n=2..58.

FORMULA

a(n) =n*A063649(n)/(A063649(n)-n) =A063427(n)+2n.

EXAMPLE

a(10)=30 since 1/10=1/20+1/20=1/30+1/15=1/35+1/14=1/60+1/12=1/110+1/11, but the first sum does not have c>b, leaving the second sum to provide the value.
