			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last Thursday in Graph  Theory, one of my friends gave me this neat problem to work on that he had already solved.</p>
<p>The problem goes like this: How many fractions are there such that the numerator and the denominator make up the decimal equivalent. Take 5/2 = 2.5 for example. Each number in the fraction is in the decimal equivalent and vice versa.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been working on this problem off and on for the past couple of days and I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m really getting anywhere. My approach has been, a/b = a.b  if b &gt; a and a/b = b.a if a &gt; b. If they are equal, I would think that 1/1 = 1 would be the only solution. Initially, I tried doing a = a.b x b and writing that as (ab + floor(b^2/10)).(b^2 mod 10) but I realized that this method would only really work if b &lt; 10.</p>
<p>So I&#8217;m kind of stuck on this problem, but I&#8217;m still working. Hopefully I&#8217;ll get it soon.</p>
