Problem
Consider the sequence 
of positive rational numbers defined by 
and for 
, if 
for relatively prime positive integers 
and 
, then
![\[a_{k+1} = \frac{m + 18}{n+19}.\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/f/8/3/f8375cf3493310402a251be2df8e930251bd5a5d.png)
Determine the sum of all positive integers 
such that the rational number 
can be written in the form 
for some positive integer 
.
