COMMENTS
The alternating sums over central binomial coefficients scaled by powers of 5, r(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^k*binomial(2*k,k)/5^k, have the limit s = lim_{n-> infinity} r(n) = sqrt(5)/3. From the expansion of 1/sqrt(1+x) for x=4/5.
FORMULA
a(n) = numerator(r(n)) with the rationals r(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^k * binomial(2*k,k)/5^k in lowest terms.
r(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^k*((2*k-1)!!/((2*k)!!)*(4/5)^k, n>=0, with the double factorials A001147 and A000165.
EXAMPLE
a(3)=17 because r(3) = 1 - 2/5 + 6/25 - 4/25 = 17/25 = a(3)/ A124398(3).

COMMENTS
Denominators of alternating sums over central binomial coefficients scaled by powers of 5.
For the rationals r(n) see the W. Lang link under A124397. r(n) is not 1/3 times the rational sequence A123747/ A123748 which converges to sqrt(5).
FORMULA
a(n) = denominator(r(n)) with the rationals r(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^k * binomial(2*k,k)/5^k, in lowest terms.
r(n) = Sum_{k=0..n} (-1)^k*((2*k-1)!!/((2*k)!!)*(4/5)^k, n>=0, with the double factorials A001147 and A000165.
EXAMPLE
a(3) = 25 because r(3)= 1 - 2/5 + 6/25 - 4/25 = 17/25 = A124397(3)/a(3).
