%N Denominators of partial sums of a series for sqrt(5).

%C Denominators of sums over central binomial coefficients scaled by powers of 5.

%C Numerators are given by A123747.

%C For the rationals r(n) see the W. Lang link under A123747.

%H G. C. Greubel, <a href="/A123748/b123748.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 0..1000</a>

%F a(n) = denominator(r(n)) with the rationals r(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} binomial(2*k,k)/5^k in lowest terms.

%F r(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (((2*k-1)!!/((2*k)!!)*(4/5)^k, n>=0, with the double factorials A001147 and A000165.

%e a(3)=5 because r(3)= 1+2/5+6/25+4/25 = 9/5 = A123747(3)/a(3).
