Disregarding the fundamental...........which is 1.............and concentrating just on the fractions for a moment...........like the below...................u would have 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + 1/5 + 1/6 + 1/7 + 1/8 + 1/9 + 1/10......................................nine fractions less than or equal to 1/10....................imp. for several reasons..............grouping them ...........................making sets of them.........for sets of ten.................nine..............under or equal to 1/10............like 11..................2 - 11.............the 1st double digit denominator..............................from single digits........like the line at 1/2..........
