Determine the value of \(\frac{\frac{2016}{1} + \frac{2015}{2} + \frac{2014}{3} + \dots + \frac{1}{2016}}{\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{4} + \dots + \frac{1}{2017}}.\)
Sum up the top and bottom separately and divide:
T = sumfor(n, 1, 2017,(2017 - n) / n) = 14495.83626
B = sumfor(n, 2, 2017,(1 / n) = 7.186830075
T / B = 14495.83626 / 7.186830075 =2017
