Problem Statement

Find all positive integers kk that can be expressed as the sum of 5050 fractions such that the numerators are the 5050 natural numbers from 11 to 5050 and the denominators are positive integers, that is, k=1a1+2a2++50a50k = \dfrac{1}{a_1} + \dfrac{2}{a_2} + \ldots + \dfrac{50}{a_{50}} with a1,a2,,an_1 , a_2 , \ldots , a_n positive integers.
