A circle with integer radius rr is centered at (r,r)(r, r). Distinct line segments of length cic_i connect points (0,ai)(0, a_i) to (bi,0)(b_i, 0) for 1i141 \le i \le 14 and are tangent to the circle, where aia_i, bib_i, and cic_i are all positive integers and c1c2c14c_1 \le c_2 \le \cdots \le c_{14}. What is the ratio c14c1\frac{c_{14}}{c_1} for the least possible value of rr?
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
A circle with integer radius r is centered at (r,r). Distinct line segments of length c_(i) connect points (0,a_(i)) to (b_(i),0) for 1≤i≤14 and are tangent to the circle, where a_(i), b_(i), and c_(i) are all positive integers and c₁≤c₂≤⋯≤c₁₄. What is the ratio (c₁₄)/(c₁) for the least possible value of r?
Original LaTeX notation
A circle with integer radius $r$ is centered at $(r, r)$. Distinct line segments of length $c_i$ connect points $(0, a_i)$ to $(b_i, 0)$ for $1 \le i \le 14$ and are tangent to the circle, where $a_i$, $b_i$, and $c_i$ are all positive integers and $c_1 \le c_2 \le \cdots \le c_{14}$. What is the ratio $\frac{c_{14}}{c_1}$ for the least possible value of $r$?
