Rational numbers as sums of fractions (11D68)

Review text

If a positive rational less than 1 can be expressed as a sum of positive integer reciprocals, then it can be so expressed with all reciprocals distinct and no increase in the number of terms. The constructive proof yields a practical process of Egyptian fraction representations.
