But 1656/20736 immediately simplifies to 23/288, which is the correct result, as stated in my OP. Why would you give your result as a fraction not reduced to its lowest terms ?

Thanks Valentin.

My pleasure.

That's great ! Please do !

Quote:The major problem now is its efficiency because in the current version, on my poor HP-71B, [...] I expect it to take over 4 hours to calculate (R,S)=(50,60).

I estimate that my own, non-optimized original solution would solve the (30,60) case {not (50,60), yet another typo} in less than 30 min. when running on a physical HP-71B. Some pretty obvious optimization would make it run in half the time.

Ok, good luck !

Thanks and best regards.
