Here's another. It's been a couple of years or more since I wrote the
program, and I am fuzzy on the details, but I used Euclid's algorithm to get
approximations. My goal was to use the smallest primes possible and still
come up with a decent approximation:

2 et 1/1 3/2

3 et 1/1 5/4 3/2

4 et 1/1 6/5 3/2 5/3
