Let us split all fractions into two natural groups: those on the odd position and those on the even.
a1a2a3a505b1b2b3b505=20191,=2019+2+20171+2018+3=2019+20191+2021,=2019+2+2017+4+20151+2018+3+2016+5=2019+2019+21+2021+2,…,=2019+2+2017+4+2015+⋯+1008+10111+2018+3+2016+5+⋯+1012+1009=2019+2019+5041+2021+504.=2019+21+2018=20212019,=2019+2+2017+41+2018+3+2016=2021+22019+2=20212019,=2019+2+2017+4+2015+61+2018+3+2016+5+2014=2021+32019+3=20212019,…,=2019+2+2017+4+2015+⋯+1008+1011+10101+2018+3+2016+5+⋯+1012+1009+1010=2021+5052019+505=20212019.
In this way, all fractions denoted by bi, i=1,505 are of the same value, 20212019. Let us now compare values of ak and ak+1:
ak+1−ak=2019+2019k1+2021k−2019+2019(k−1)1+2021(k−1)=(2019+2019(k−1))(2019+2019k)(1+2021k)(2019+2021(k−1))−(1+2021k)(2019+2021k)>0⇔
2021 + 2021 ⋅ (k-1) + 2021^2 k + 2021^2 k(k-1) - 2021 - 2021 ⋅ k - 2021^2(k-1) - 2021^2 k(k-1) = 2021^2 - 2021 > 0
Therefore,thelargestfractionwouldbe$20212019$or$a505=2019+2019⋅5041+2021⋅504$.Letuscomparethem.
1+2021 504 2019+2019 504 - 2019 2021 = (1+2021 504) 2021 - (2019+2019 504) 2019 (2019+2019 504) 2021} < 0 ⇔ 2021 + 2021 ⋅2021⋅ 504 - 2019^2 - 2019^2 ⋅ 504 = = 2021 + (2021^2 - 2019^2) ⋅ 504 - 2019^2 = 2021 + 8080 ⋅ 504 - 2019^2 = -2020 < 0.
