I have a general question. For example I have some relation
[tex]A=\frac{iB+j}{k}C[/tex]
where [tex]i,j,k[/tex] are integers. How to obtain minimal triplet and what is definition of minimal triplet. Let for example we have case ##A=\frac{1}{10}##, ##B=\frac{1}{2}##, ##C=\frac{2}{10}##. Find minimal triplet ##i,j,k##. How and what is definition?

Doesn't your textbook have a definition of a minimal triplet?

No.
 
Is this a problem from a textbook? I've never seen a math book that asked you to find something without providing at least a definition of that something.

Can you give us the context of this problem?
 
It is paper and I am trying to figure it out what is their definition of minimal triplet. They say that minimal triplet is ##i=1,j=0,k=1##.
