FRACTRAN

FRACTRAN is a minimalistic programming language invented by mathematician John Conway. It is designed to demonstrate how computation can be implemented using a simple set of rules involving fractions. The primary concept of FRACTRAN is to execute a series of operations on an integer using a list of fractions. The way FRACTRAN works is as follows: 1. You start with a positive integer (usually 1). 2. You have a predefined list of fractions.
