Ordered fractions

Consider the fraction, $n/d$, where $n$ and $d$ are positive integers. If $n < d$ and $HCF(n,d)=1$, it is called a reduced proper fraction.

If we list the set of reduced proper fractions for $d \le 8$ in ascending order of size, we get:

$$1/8, 1/7, 1/6, 1/5, 1/4, 2/7, 1/3, 3/8, \textbf{2/5}, 3/7, 1/2,$$
$$4/7, 3/5, 5/8, 2/3, 5/7, 3/4, 4/5, 5/6, 6/7, 7/8$$

It can be seen that $2/5$ is the fraction immediately to the left of $3/7$.

By listing the set of reduced proper fractions for $d \le 1,000,000$ in ascending order of size, find the numerator of the fraction immediately to the left of $3/7$.


有序分数

考虑形如$n/d$的分数,其中$n$和$d$均为正整数。如果$n<d$且其最大公约数为$1$,则称该分数为最简真分数。

将所有$d\le8$的最简真分数构成的集合按大小升序排列:

$$1/8, 1/7, 1/6, 1/5, 1/4, 2/7, 1/3, 3/8, \textbf{2/5}, 3/7, 1/2,$$
$$4/7, 3/5, 5/8, 2/3, 5/7, 3/4, 4/5, 5/6, 6/7, 7/8$$

可以看出$2/5$是$3/7$直接左邻的分数。

将所有$d \le 1,000,000$的最简真分数按大小升序排列,求此时$3/7$直接左邻的分数的分子。
