problem

The classrooms at MIT are each identified with a positive integer (with no leading zeroes). One day, as President Reif walks down the Infinite Corridor, he notices that a digit zero on a room sign has fallen off. Let NN be the original number of the room, and let MM be the room number as shown on the sign. The smallest interval containing all possible values of MN\frac{M}{N} can be expressed as [ab,cd)\left[\frac{a}{b}, \frac{c}{d}\right) where a,b,c,da, b, c, d are positive integers with gcd(a,b)=gcd(c,d)=1\operatorname{gcd}(a, b)=\operatorname{gcd}(c, d)=1. Compute 1000a+100b+10c+d1000 a+100 b+10 c+d.

The classrooms at MIT are each identified with a positive integer (with no leading zeroes). One day, as President Reif walks down the Infinite Corridor, he notices that a digit zero on a room sign has fallen off. Let N be the original number of the room, and let M be the room number as shown on the sign. The smallest interval containing all possible values of (M)/(N) can be expressed as [(a)/(b),(c)/(d)) where a,b,c,d are positive integers with gcd(a,b)=gcd(c,d)=1. Compute 1000a+100b+10c+d.

The classrooms at MIT are each identified with a positive integer (with no leading zeroes). One day, as President Reif walks down the Infinite Corridor, he notices that a digit zero on a room sign has fallen off. Let $N$ be the original number of the room, and let $M$ be the room number as shown on the sign. The smallest interval containing all possible values of $\frac{M}{N}$ can be expressed as $\left[\frac{a}{b}, \frac{c}{d}\right)$ where $a, b, c, d$ are positive integers with $\operatorname{gcd}(a, b)=\operatorname{gcd}(c, d)=1$. Compute $1000 a+100 b+10 c+d$.
