Print all proper fractions with denominators less than equal to N

Given an integer N, the task is to print all proper fractions such that the denominator is less than or equal to N. 

Proper Fractions: A fraction is said to be a proper fraction if the numerator is less than the denominator. 
 



Examples:  

Input: N = 3 
Output: 1/2, 1/3, 2/3



Input: N = 4 
Output: 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 2/3, 3/4 

Approach: 
Traverse all numerators over [1, N-1] and, for each of them, traverse over all denominators in the range [numerator+1, N] and check if the numerator and denominator are coprime or not. If found to be coprime, then print the fraction.

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 




// C++ program to implement the
// above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to print all
// proper fractions
void printFractions(int n)
{
    for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) {
        for (int j = i + 1; j <= n; j++) {
 
            // If the numerator and the
            // denominator are coprime
            if (__gcd(i, j) == 1) {
 
                string a = to_string(i);
                string b = to_string(j);
 
                cout << a + "/" + b << ", ";
            }
        }
    }
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int n = 3;
    printFractions(n);
    return 0;
}




// Java program to implement the
// above approach
class GFG{
 
// Function to print all
// proper fractions
static void printFractions(int n)
{
    for(int i = 1; i < n; i++)
    {
        for(int j = i + 1; j <= n; j++)
        {
             
            // If the numerator and the
            // denominator are coprime
            if (__gcd(i, j) == 1)
            {
                String a = String.valueOf(i);
                String b = String.valueOf(j);
 
                System.out.print(a + "/" +
                                 b + ", ");
            }
        }
    }
}
 
static int __gcd(int a, int b)
{
    return b == 0 ? a : __gcd(b, a % b);    
}
 
// Driver code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
    int n = 3;
     
    printFractions(n);
}
}
