## Description
|
||||
<section id='description'>
|
||||
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FRACTRAN" title="wp: FRACTRAN" target="_blank">FRACTRAN</a> is a Turing-complete esoteric programming language invented by the mathematician <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John Horton Conway" title="wp: John Horton Conway" target="_blank">John Horton Conway</a>.
|
||||
A FRACTRAN program is an ordered list of positive fractions $P = (f_1, f_2, \ldots, f_m)$, together with an initial positive integer input $n$.
|
||||
The program is run by updating the integer $n$ as follows:
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>for the first fraction, $f_i$, in the list for which $nf_i$ is an integer, replace $n$ with $nf_i$ ;</li>
|
||||
<li>repeat this rule until no fraction in the list produces an integer when multiplied by $n$, then halt.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
Conway gave a program for primes in FRACTRAN:
|
||||
<span style="margin-left: 1em;">$\dfrac{17}{91}$, $\dfrac{78}{85}$, $\dfrac{19}{51}$, $\dfrac{23}{38}$, $\dfrac{29}{33}$, $\dfrac{77}{29}$, $\dfrac{95}{23}$, $\dfrac{77}{19}$, $\dfrac{1}{17}$, $\dfrac{11}{13}$, $\dfrac{13}{11}$, $\dfrac{15}{14}$, $\dfrac{15}{2}$, $\dfrac{55}{1}$</span>
|
||||
Starting with $n=2$, this FRACTRAN program will change $n$ to $15=2\times (\frac{15}{2})$, then $825=15\times (\frac{55}{1})$, generating the following sequence of integers:
|
||||
<span style="margin-left: 1em;">$2$, $15$, $825$, $725$, $1925$, $2275$, $425$, $390$, $330$, $290$, $770$, $\ldots$</span>
|
||||
After 2, this sequence contains the following powers of 2:
|
||||
<span style="margin-left: 1em;">$2^2=4$, $2^3=8$, $2^5=32$, $2^7=128$, $2^{11}=2048$, $2^{13}=8192$, $2^{17}=131072$, $2^{19}=524288$, $\ldots$</span>
|
||||
which are the prime powers of 2.

## Instructions
|
||||
<section id='instructions'>
|
||||
Write a function that takes a fractran program as a string parameter and returns the first 10 numbers of the program as an array. If the result does not have 10 numbers then return the numbers as is.
