Problem
A lattice point in an -coordinate system is any point
where both
and
are integers. The graph of
passes through no lattice point with
for all
such that
. What is the maximum possible value of
?
Solution
We see that for the graph of to not pass through any lattice points its denominator must be greater the than 100. We see that the nearest fraction bigger than
that does not have its denominator over 100 is 50/99. :D
