An Egyptian fraction is a finite sum of distinct unit fractions, such as 1 2 + 1 3 + 1 16 . {\displaystyle {\frac {1}{2}}+{\frac {1}{3}}+{\frac {1}{16}}.} That is, each fraction in the expression has a numerator equal to 1 and a denominator that is a positive integer, and all the denominators differ from each other.
