The Greedy algorithm for representing a fraction as an Egyptian fraction is a method that breaks down a given fraction into a sum of distinct unit fractions, where a unit fraction is a fraction of the form \( \frac{1}{n} \) for some positive integer \( n \). An Egyptian fraction is thus a sum of such fractions.
