Problem
Find the sum of all positive rational numbers that are less than 10 and that have denominator 30 when written in lowest terms.
Solution
There are 8 fractions which fit the conditions between 0 and 1: 
Their sum is 4. Note that there are also 8 terms between 1 and 2 which we can obtain them by adding 1 to each of our first 8 terms. For example, 
Following this pattern, our answer is
