USAMO 1989 Problem 1

For each positive integer nn , let \begin{eqnarray*} S_n &=& 1 + \frac 12 + \frac 13 + \cdots + \frac 1n, T_n &=& S_1 + S_2 + S_3 + \cdots + S_n, U_n &=& \frac{T_1}{2} + \frac{T_2}{3} + \frac{T_3}{4} + \cdots + \frac{T_n}{n+1}. \end{eqnarray*} Find, with proof, integers 0<a,b,c,d<10000000 < a, b,c, d < 1000000 such that T1988=aS1989−bT_{1988} = a S_{1989} - b and U1988=cS1989−dU_{1988} = c S_{1989} - d .
