One third of the denominator of the finite differences of the series of sums of all matrix elements of n X n Hilbert matrix M(i,j)=1/(i+j-1) (i,j = 1..n). - Alexander Adamchuk, Apr 11 2006

FORMULA
a(n) = denominator(s(n)) with s(n)=3*sum(1/((2*k-1)*k*(2*k+1)), k=1..n). See A101028 for more information.
a(n) = 1/3*Denominator[Sum[Sum[1/(i+j-1),{i,1,n+1}],{j,1,n+1}]-Sum[Sum[1/(i+j-1),{i,1,n}],{j,1,n}]]. a(n) = 1/3*Denominator[H(2n+1) + H(2n) - 2H(n)], where H(n) = Sum[1/k, (k, 1, n}] is a Harmonic number, H[n] = A001008/A002805. - Alexander Adamchuk, Apr 11 2006
EXAMPLE
n=2: HilbertMatrix[n,n]
1 1/2
1/2 1/3
so a(1) = 1/3*Denominator[(1 + 1/2 + 1/2 + 1/3) - 1] = 1/3*Denominator[7/3 -1] = 1/3*Denominator[4/3] = 1.
The n X n Hilbert matrix begins:
1 1/2 1/3 1/4 1/5 1/6 1/7 1/8 ...
1/2 1/3 1/4 1/5 1/6 1/7 1/8 1/9 ...
1/3 1/4 1/5 1/6 1/7 1/8 1/9 1/10 ...
1/4 1/5 1/6 1/7 1/8 1/9 1/10 1/11 ...
1/5 1/6 1/7 1/8 1/9 1/10 1/11 1/12 ...
1/6 1/7 1/8 1/9 1/10 1/11 1/12 1/13 ...
