Logic behind taking ceiling in Egyptian Fractions

Правка en1, от Himitsu, 2018-08-07 17:27:29

Hello,

I was reading about Egyptian fractions and I could not understand the reason behind taking the ceiling of D/N as the largest unit fraction in the Sylvester's sequence. Can someone explain in easier terms.

Thank You
