								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:
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								<div style='text-align: center;'>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</div>
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								It can be seen that there are 21 elements in this set.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								How many elements would be contained in the set of reduced proper fractions for `d` ≤ 1,000,000?
							 |

								`countingFractions()` should return a number.

| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```js
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								assert(typeof countingFractions() === 'number');
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								`countingFractions()` should return 303963552391.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								```js
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								assert.strictEqual(countingFractions(), 303963552391);
							 | 
						||
| 
								 |
