The Rhind Mathematical Papyrus (RMP) is an ancient Egyptian document dating to around 1650 BCE, which serves as a critical source for understanding Egyptian mathematics. Among its various contents, it includes a table that is often referred to as the "2/n table." The 2/n table in the RMP is a list of fractions that represent the decomposition of the unit fraction \\( \\frac\{2\}\{n\} \\) into sums of distinct unit fractions.
