- [ 10 ] If p and q are positive integers and < < , what is the minimum value of p ?
2009 q 2010
Answer: 4017 By multiplying out the fraction inequalities, we find that 2008 q + 1 ≤ 2009 p and
2010 p + ≤ 2009 q . Adding 2009 times the first inequality to 2008 times the second, we find thatp
4017
2008 · 2009 q + 4017 ≤ 2008 · 2009 q + p , or p ≥ 4017. This minumum is attained when = .
