Stephan :
Cool. Now do it with large N where you don’t know what the factors are. If you can do that you will break RSA cryptography.

couldn't you just do x=y=4? it doesn't ask for 2 distinct values. maybe it's a bit cheap tho...

You could solve that in your head

Imagine a circle cut in half, then you divide the half circle further into 3 pieces, you take one piece so it’s 1/6 then you take the other two pieces 2/6 or (1/3). Which is half of the circle. 1/6+1/3=1/2

The trivial pair is assume x = y to get (4,4)

okay here's my method: first notice that we have equation which is simetric 1/x+1/y=1/2. so we can say that x≤y so if x≤y than 1/x≥1/y so 1/x+1/y≤2/x so 2/x≥1/2 so x≤4 if x=4 than 1/y=1/2-1/4=1/4 so y=4 if x=3 than 1/y=1/2-1/3=1/6 so y=6 if x=2 than 1/y=1/2-1/2=0 which has not solution and if x=1 than 1/y=1/2-1=-1/2 which has not solution in positive integers. therefore the final answer is (x;y)=(4;4),(6;3) and their permutations

What id do is assume x>=y and then that means 1/x= 1/2 so 2/y>= 1/2 so 4>=y then test values under 4 for y

1/2=01/4+1/4，1/2=3/6=1/6+2/6=1/6+4/12=1/6+1/3

Two unknowns surely? They don’t really vary.

try Diophantine method it's much easier than this

Or…just on your head 1/3+1/6=1/2 …btw 1/4+1/4 also works 😏
