%N A291094 Denominators of fractions with nontrivial anomalous cancellation, listed with multiplicity if multiple numerators are possible.
%C A291094 An unreduced fraction N/D is said to have the anomalous cancellation property if there is a single digit that can be canceled from both N and D without changing the value of the fraction. The first and most famous example is 16/64 = 1/4 after canceling the 6's.
%C A291094 Nontrivial means that fractions of the form x0/y0 are excluded (otherwise there would be a large number of trivial entries like 120/340).
%C A291094 The fractions are assumed to be in the range 0 to 1, and of course are not reduced.
%C A291094 The denominators d are considered in the order 11, 12, 13, ..., and then the numerators are considered in the order n = 10, 11, 12, ..., d-1.
%C A291094 A fraction is listed only once, even if the cancellation is possible in more than one way.
