Unique Fractions
You are given a list of lists fractions
where each list contains [numerator, denominator]
which represents the number numerator / denominator
.
Return a new list of lists such that the numbers in fractions
are:
- In their most reduced terms. E.g.
8 / 6
becomes4 / 3
. - Any duplicate fractions that represent the same value are removed.
- Sorted in ascending order by their value.
- If the number is negative, the
-
sign should go to thenumerator
(the input also follows this).

Examples
Example 1
Input
- fractions =
[[ 8, 4],
[ 2, 1],
[ 7, 3],
[14, 6],
[10, 2],
[-3, 6]]
Output
- answer =
[[-1, 2], [2, 1], [7, 3], [5, 1]]
Explanation
Once we reduce the numbers they become [[2, 1], [2, 1], [7, 3], [7, 3], [5, 1], [-1, 2]]
. The result then comes from deduping and sorting by value.
