Find the denominator when a unit fraction is the sum of two other unit fractions.
This relates to Egyptian arithmetic.
It is the inverse of unit fraction decomposition.
Let the form of the expression be (1/A) + (1/B) = 1/C. (/ is the division symbol.)
The value of each numerator is 1.
A, B, and C are the denominators. A and B are known, and C is the unknown to be found.
A, B, and C are all natural numbers greater than or equal to 2.
A and B are distinct natural numbers.
Enter A and B.
Enter natural numbers greater than or equal to 2 for A and B.
If there is a natural number C that serves as the denominator on the left-hand side, the "Result" field in the output section will display 1.
Also display the natural number that serves as the denominator C on the left-hand side.
If there is no natural number that serves as the denominator C on the left-hand side, display 0 in the “Result” field.
In this case, do not display the number that serves as the denominator C on the left-hand side.
(Note: Although C = 1 and 1/1 = 1, 1/C is not considered a unit fraction.)
A
B
Verdict   (C could not be found = 0, found = 1)
Denominator C   (1/A) + (1/B) = 1/C
