## Description
 | 
						||
<section id='description'>
 | 
						||
For any positive integer k, a finite sequence ai of fractions xi/yi is defined by:
 | 
						||
a1 = 1/k and
 | 
						||
ai = (xi-1+1)/(yi-1-1) reduced to lowest terms for i>1.
 | 
						||
When ai reaches some integer n, the sequence stops. (That is, when yi=1.)
 | 
						||
Define f(k) = n.
 | 
						||
For example, for k = 20:
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
1/20 → 2/19 → 3/18 = 1/6 → 2/5 → 3/4 → 4/3 → 5/2 → 6/1 = 6
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
So f(20) = 6.
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
Also f(1) = 1, f(2) = 2, f(3) = 1 and Σf(k3) = 118937 for 1 ≤ k ≤ 100.
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
Find Σf(k3) for 1 ≤ k ≤ 2×106.
