The other number is basically the series of prime numbers, starting from 2.
2,3,5,7,11,13,17,19,....
So the next two in the pattern would be :
13/1 , 1/17
The numerator is the same series of prime numbers.
The denominator are ascending powers of 2.
2 = 2¹
4 = 2² = 2 × 2
8 = 2³ = 2 × 2 × 2
16 = 2⁴ = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2
32 = 2⁵ = 2 × 2× 2 × 2 × 2
Basically, keep multiplying by 2.
So the next two in the pattern are :
13/64 and 17/128
