For the partial sums of one half of this series, that is Sum_{k>=0} 1/((k+1)*(5*k+2)), with value 0.6613896265611944283..., see A294826(n)/A294827(n), for n >= 0. - Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 16 2017

FORMULA
Equals Sum_{n>=1} 2/(5n^2 - 3n).
((5/2)*log(5) - (2*phi-1)*(log(phi) - (Pi/5)*sqrt(7-4*phi)))/3, with the golden section phi := (1 + sqrt(5))/2. This is (5/10)*v_5(2) given from the Koecher reference on p. 192 as ((5/2)*log(5) - sqrt(5)*log((1+sqrt(5))/2) + (1/5)*Pi*sqrt(5*(5-2*sqrt(5))))/3. Compare this with the number given in the Mathematica program. - Wolfdieter Lang, Nov 16 2017

The corresponding denominators are given in A294827.
For the general case V(m,r;n) = Sum_{k=0..n} 1/((k + 1)*(m*k + r)) = (1/(m - r))*Sum_{k=0..n} (m/(m*k + r) - 1/(k+1)), for r = 1, ..., m-1 and m = 2, 3, ..., and their limits see a comment in A294512. Here [m,r] = [5,2].
The limit of the series is V(5,2) = lim_{n -> oo} V(5,2;n) = ((5/2)*log(5) - (2*phi-1)*(log(phi) - (Pi/5)*sqrt(7-4*phi)))/6, with the golden section phi:= (1 + sqrt(5))/2. The value is 0.661389626561... given by (1/2)*A244639.
In the Koecher reference v_5(2) = (3/5)*V(5,2) = 0.39683377593671665701 ...is given as (1/4)*log(5) - (1/(2*sqrt(5)))*log((1 + sqrt(5))/2) + (Pi/10)*sqrt((5 - 2*sqrt(5))/5).
