Simple Fractions Symmetry
Problem
Given that k and n are positive integers, and k
n, we shall call k/n a simple fraction if it cannot be cancelled.
For example, when n=9, there are exactly six simple fractions:
1/9
2/9
4/9
5/9
7/9
8/9
For a given denominator, n
2, prove there will always be an even number of simple fractions.
