+Counting Fractions
+
+Consider the fraction, n/d, where n and d are positive integers. If n<d and HCF(n,d)=1, it is called a reduced proper fraction.
+
+If we list the set of reduced proper fractions for d ≤ 8 in ascending order of size, we get:
+
+1/8, 1/7, 1/6, 1/5, 1/4, 2/7, 1/3, 3/8, 2/5, 3/7, 1/2, 4/7, 3/5, 5/8, 2/3, 5/7, 3/4, 4/5, 5/6, 6/7, 7/8
+
+It can be seen that there are 21 elements in this set.
+
+How many elements would be contained in the set of reduced proper fractions for d ≤ 1,000,000?
