I think I found a faster and shorter Fractran program to multiply two numbers than what's on the wikipedia page. Also, I noticed that the example uses the 4th and 5th registers for storing the result which makes their accumulator balloon to some massive number. Once I have faster connectivity, I might update it.

(multiply two registers)

@res @acc @x @y

:: iter acc > x iter
:: iter >
:: x y > res acc y
:: y > iter
:: x >

x x y y y

55/33, 1/11, 42/35, 11/7, 1/5
