--description--
Consider the diophantine equation \frac{1}{a} + \frac{1}{b} = \frac{p}{{10}^n}
with a
, b
, p
, n
positive integers and a ≤ b
.
For n = 1
this equation has 20 solutions that are listed below:
$$\begin{array}{lllll} \frac{1}{1} + \frac{1}{1} = \frac{20}{10} & \frac{1}{1} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{15}{10} & \frac{1}{1} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{12}{10} & \frac{1}{1} + \frac{1}{10} = \frac{11}{10} & \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{10}{10} \\ \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{7}{10} & \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{10} = \frac{6}{10} & \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{5}{10} & \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{15} = \frac{4}{10} & \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{10} \\ \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{10} & \frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{4}{10} & \frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{10} = \frac{3}{10} & \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{30} = \frac{2}{10} & \frac{1}{10} + \frac{1}{10} = \frac{2}{10} \\ \frac{1}{11} + \frac{1}{110} = \frac{1}{10} & \frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{60} = \frac{1}{10} & \frac{1}{14} + \frac{1}{35} = \frac{1}{10} & \frac{1}{15} + \frac{1}{30} = \frac{1}{10} & \frac{1}{20} + \frac{1}{20} = \frac{1}{10} \end{array}$$
