COMMENTS
Denominators are found under A120083.
D(1,x) = (1/x)*integral_{t=0..x} t/(exp(t)-1) dt (note the factor x on the r.h.s. of the Abramowitz-Stegun link). This is the e.g.f. for {Bernoulli(n)/(n+1)}_{n>=0}. See A027641(n)/A227540(n). Thanks to Peter Luschny for asking me to revisit this sequence. - Wolfdieter Lang, Jul 15 2013
Also numerators of coefficients in expansion of x/(exp(x)-1). See A227830 for denominators. - N. J. A. Sloane, Aug 01 2013

FORMULA
a(n) = numerator(r(n)), with r(n) = [x^n] (1 - x/4 + Sum_{k>=0} (B(2*k)/((2*k+1)*(2*k)!))*x^(2*k)), |x| < 2*Pi. B(2*k) = A000367(k)/A002445(k) (Bernoulli numbers).
a(n) = numerator(B(n)/(n+1)!), n >= 0. See the above comment on the e.g.f. D(1,x). - Wolfdieter Lang, Jul 15 2013
Apart from the sign of a(1) this sequence differs from A358625 for the first time at n = 68. - Peter Luschny, Dec 02 2022
