Harmonic number sum

Problem1: Least k such that H(k) >= n, where H(k) is the harmonic number sum_{i=1..k} 1/i.

Sub Harmonic_number_sum() Dim s As Double, i As Long, n As Long n = 1 For i = 1 To 300000000 s = s + 1 / i If s >= n Then Debug.Print "a(" & n & ")=" & i: n = n + 1 Next End Sub

It returns:

a(1)=1
a(2)=4
a(3)=11
a(4)=31
a(5)=83
a(6)=227
a(7)=616
a(8)=1674
