a(n) is the numerator of fraction equal to the continued fraction [0; 2, 6, 12, 20, 30, ..., n*(n+1)].
FORMULA
a(n) ~ c * n^(2*n + 2) / exp(2*n), where c = 3.2100642122891047165999468271849715691225751316633504931782933233387646256... - Vaclav Kotesovec, Aug 14 2021
EXAMPLE
a(1) = 1 because 1/(1*2) = 1/2.
a(2) = 6 because 1/(1*2 + 1/(2*3)) = 6/13.
a(3) = 73 because 1/(1*2 + 1/(2*3 + 1/(3*4))) = 73/158.
a(4) = 1466 because 1/(1*2 + 1/(2*3 + 1/(3*4 + 1/(4*5)))) = 1466/3173.
