COMMENTS

Also numerators in canonical bijection from positive integers to all positive rational numbers: arrange fractions in triangle in which n-th row the phi(n) contains fractions i/j with GCD(i,j) = 1, i+j=n, i=1,...,n-1, j=n-1,...,1. Denominators (A020653) are obtained by reversing each row.

Also triangle in which n-th row gives phi(n) numbers between 1 and n that are relatively prime to n.

a(n) = A002260(A169581(n)). [From Reinhard Zumkeller (reinhard.zumkeller(AT)gmail.com), Dec 02 2009]

FORMULA

The n-th "clump" consists of the phi(n) integers <= n and prime to n.

EXAMPLE

The beginning of the list of positive rationals <= 1: 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, 2/3, 1/4, 3/4, 1/5, 2/5, 3/5, ... (this is A038566/A038567).

The beginning of the triangle giving all positive rationals: 1/1; 1/2, 2/1; 1/3, 3/1; 1/4, 2/3, 3/2, 4/1; 1/5, 5/1; 1/6, 2/5, 3/4, 4/3, 5/2, 6/1; .. (this is A038566/A020653).
