Ordered fractions
Consider the fraction, n/d, where n and d are positive integers. If n < d and HCF(n,d)=1, it is called a reduced proper fraction.
If we list the set of reduced proper fractions for d ≤ 8 in ascending order of size, we get:
It can be seen that 2/5 is the fraction immediately to the left of 3/7.
By listing the set of reduced proper fractions for d ≤ 1,000,000 in ascending order of size, find the numerator of the fraction immediately to the left of 3/7.
有序分数
考虑形如n/d的分数,其中n和d均为正整数。如果n < d且其最大公约数为1,则该分数称为最简真分数。
如果我们将d ≤ 8的最简真分数构成的集合按大小升序列出,我们得到:
可以看出2/5是3/7直接左邻的分数。
将所有d ≤ 1,000,000的最简真分数按大小升序排列,求此时3/7直接左邻的分数的分子。
