    For every real number xx, let ∥x∥\|x\| denote the distance between xx and the nearest integer. Prove that for every pair (a,b)(a, b) of positive integers there exist an odd prime pp and a positive integer kk satisfying ∥apk∥+∥bpk∥+∥a+bpk∥=1.\left\|\frac{a}{p^{k}}\right\|+\left\|\frac{b}{p^{k}}\right\|+\left\|\frac{a+b}{p^{k}}\right\|=1 .
