Some FRACTRAN programs in case we ever have a category for it

A+B

Input a number of the form 2^a 3^b <lang fractran> {2/3} </lang> The output is 2^(a+b)

Integer Sequence

<lang fractran> 1 {2/3, 9/2, 2/1}</lang>

Output:

2^0
2^1
3^2
2 x 3
2^2
2 x 3^2
2^2 x 3
2^3
...

Regarding only the powers of two, we get 1,2,4,8,16, etc.

Sort three variables

FRACTRAN's only data type is positive integers. Suppose (a,b,c) are the integers to be sorted. Give the following as input: 2^a 3^b 5^c <lang fractran> {1001/30, 143/6, 143/10, 143/15, 13/2, 13/3, 13/5} </lang> Returns 7^A 11^B 13^C where (A,B,C) are (a,b,c) in ascending order.
