Problem 71

https://projecteuler.net/problem=71
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
1/8, 1/7, 1/6, 1/5, 1/4, 2/7, 1/3, 3/8, 2/5, 3/7,
|
|
1/2, 4/7, 3/5, 5/8, 2/3, 5/7, 3/4, 4/5, 5/6, 6/7, 7/8
|
|
|
|
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.
