An integer then a decimal?

For any two integers x x and y y , the notation x . y x.y represents a number whose integral part is composed of the digits of x x and its fractional part is composed of the digits of y y . For example, if x = 123 x=123 and y = 456 y=456 then x . y = 123.456 x.y=123.456 . Find the sum of all possible solutions of the equation a b = b . a \dfrac{a}{b}=b.a , where a a and b b are relatively prime positive integers.

  • This is from a reviewer I received. So I take no credit.

  • "The sum of all possible solutions" means that if ( a 1 , b 1 ) , ( a 2 , b 2 ) , , ( a n , b n ) (a_1,b_1), (a_2, b_2), \dots, (a_n, b_n) are all the possible solutions, then we are asked to find k = 1 n a k + b k \displaystyle \sum_{k=1}^{n} a_k+b_k .


The answer is 7.
