Revisiting Unit Fractions That Sum To 1
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: This paper is a continuation of a previous paper. Here, as there, we examine the problem of finding the maximum number of terms in a partial sequence of distinct unit fractions larger than 1/100 that sums to 1. In the previous paper, we found that the maximum number of terms is 42 and introduced a method for showing that. In this paper, we demonstrate that there are 27 possible solutions with 42 terms, and discuss how primes show that no 43-term solution exists.
