Hyperharmonic numbers arise by taking repeated partial sums of harmonic numbers. These numbers can be expressed in terms of r-Stirling numbers, leading to combinatorial interpretations of many interesting identities.

In this article, we pursue the reverse strategy of using probability to derive an and develop an exponential generating function for an in Section 3. In Section 4, we present a method for finding an exact, non-recursive, formula for an.
