  • Paper
  • Answer

Consider the sequence (ak)k≥1(a_k)_{k\ge 1} of positive rational numbers defined by a1=20202021a_1 = \frac{2020}{2021} and for k≥1k\ge 1, if ak=mna_k = \frac{m}{n} for relatively prime positive integers mm and nn, then ak+1=m+18n+19.a_{k+1} = \frac{m + 18}{n+19}.Determine the sum of all positive integers jj such that the rational number aja_j can be written in the form tt+1\frac{t}{t+1} for some positive integer tt.
