A087690 is Denominators of successive partial sums of sum(1/(2^n-1)).
The formula given, a(n) = lcm(a(n-1), 2^n-1), is obviously wrong, e.g.
a(4) = 35 is not a multiple of a(3) = 21.
I can add a Maple program for this and A087689, and b-files. What's the
limit on sizes of numbers in b-files? a(104) has 1002 digits already.
