Test cases 0 through 3 work for me, but 4 and 5 don't. I assumed the inputs are 7 and 8, so I looked for myself what the outputs are. It turns out for inputs 3 through 6 it just gives the answer, but for 7 and 8 it gets 'truncated'. What should I do? How is it even possible that some people got it right?
And this is where I discovered that modular fraction are a thing and that they can be added and multiplied just like normal fractions. (they form a ring ?!)
Woaw mind blown ^^
Can't understand the output format, why is 500000005 equal to 3/2?
for N=4, is the following results correct? if my understanding of the problem statement is correct, I think the results should be correct, but it cannot pass the test case

I understood the question after reading the description at this URL https://projecteuler.net/problem=151. Admin please explain more on the output format
