This reminds me of my favorite proof of the Remainder Theorem: f( ) -------------- x - a ) f(x) f(x) - f(a) ------------- f(a) R. On Mon, 24 Feb 2003, Ed Pegg Jr wrote:
Simplify the following fractions using nonstandard mathematics:
13/325, 143/242, 154/253, 26/65, 176/275, 187/286, 19/95, 124/217, 148/185, 187/748
I remember seeing fractions of this sort in a book privately published by Paul Yearout, and I know I've seen them elsewhere. Is there a definitive paper on these sorts of fractions?
I didn't find a nice one where just 1's or 2's got eliminated.
