Two heads are better than one
An unbiased coin is tossed repeatedly until two consecutive heads are obtained. Suppose these occur on the th and th toss.
Let be the probability that is divisible by . For example, the outcomes HH, HTHH, and THTTHH all count towards , but THH and HTTHH do not.
You are given that and . Indeed, it can be shown that is always a rational number.
For a prime and a fully reduced fraction , define to be the smallest positive for which .
For example , because and is the smallest positive such number.
Similarly .
Find .
一个不少,两个正好
不断抛掷一枚标准硬币,直到连续两次抛出正面,记此时已经抛掷的次数为。
令表示被整除的概率。比方说,在计算时,如“正正”、“正反正正”或是“反正反反正正”这样的抛掷结果都要算入,而“反正正”或“正反反正正”就不算。
已知 和 。实际上,可以证明总是有理数。
对于素数和最简分数,记 为满足 的最小正整数。
例如,, 这是因为且是满足上式的最小正整数;同理可得。
求。
