In this case the following will do:
expr = 1 + x + x^2/2 + x^3/6 + x^4/24 + x^5/120
Cases[
expr /. Rational[x_, y_] :> rational[x, y], _Integer, {0, Infinity}]
{1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 1, 6, 4, 1, 24, 5, 1, 120}
If your expression involved complex numbers you would have to do the same with Complex as well as with Rational.
