#P9796. Proper Fraction Decomposition
Proper Fraction Decomposition
Proper Fraction Decomposition
Given an integer n, decompose the rational number $$1-\frac{1}{n}$$ into a sum of one or more proper fractions of the form $$\frac{a_i}{b_i}$$ such that:
- Each fraction is proper, i.e. $$a_i < b_i$$.
- The denominator $$b_i$$ divides n.
- $$\sum_{i=1}^{k}\frac{a_i}{b_i} = 1-\frac{1}{n}$$.
You are allowed to output any valid decomposition. It can be proved that when n >= 2
, the fraction $$1-\frac{1}{n}$$ itself is a proper fraction. Thus, one possible answer is simply $$\frac{n-1}{n}$$.
inputFormat
The input consists of a single integer n (2 <= n <= 10^9
), given on one line.
outputFormat
Output the decomposition in the following format:
- Print an integer k on the first line, denoting the number of fractions in your decomposition.
- Then print k lines, each containing two positive integers a_i and b_i (separated by a space) representing the fraction $$\frac{a_i}{b_i}$$.
