    Cant find working function for this problem

    Hey,

    I got a rather more mathematical Problem but have no idea how to solve
    it:
    I have following values and want them to return other values as stated
    below:
    (Best seen with fixed pitch font)
    3/8 = 1/4
    --
    5/8 -
    6/8 | = 2/4
    7/8 -
    --
    9/8 -
    .. | = 4/4
    15/8 -
    --
    17/8 -
    .. | = 8/4
    31/8 -
    --
    33/8 -
    .. | = 16/4
    63/8 -
    .........
    I was trying to create a function which returns the right values but
    it didn't work.
    I hope it is kind of clear what I am looking for - I have no idea how
    to solve that problem... Maybe someone knows.
    Thanks alot,

    Nikolai Onken

      Somehow the mod function might be helpful.
      It will give you the rest of a division. What you have to do, is divide the
      counter of the /8 fractal with 4 and see if it gives you any rest ... if no
      rest, it's dividable by 4. And if it's dividable by 4, just do it then you
      have the counter of the /4 fractal.

          You just have to factorize the two numbers, and find the lowest common
          denominator, just as you would if doing it by hand.
