Log-splitting with Chris

Algebra Level 3

For any positive integer n n , define

f ( n ) = { log 4 n if log 4 n is rational , 0 otherwise . f(n)= \begin{cases} \log_{4} n & \mbox{ if } \log_4 n \mbox{ is rational}, \\ 0 & \mbox { otherwise}. \\ \end{cases}

If i = 1 2013 f ( n ) \sum\limits_{i=1}^{2013}f(n) is expressed as a b \frac{a}{b} , where a a and b b are coprime positive integers, what is the value of a + b a+b ?
