Finding Two Calculator Fractions (Posted on 2023-03-02) Difficulty: 3 of 5
Lionel has a calculator that displays a maximum of ten digits (for example: 3,478,062,139 and 0.073672932)
• Lionel chose 4 distinct prime numbers p,q,r and s all less than 100 and he calculates p/q – r/s. The result is 0.180451127. Determine p,q,r and s.
• Consider the two base ten numbers 0.728101457 and 0.635149023. One of these numbers is the result displayed by Lionel's calculator of an irreducible fraction u/v with u and v, that are positive integers less than 1000. The decimals of the other number are taken from a table of random numbers.

Determine the terms u and v of the irreducible fraction.
