Existing file with a Python solution to count fractions between 1/3 and 1/2 for denominators up to 12,000 using nested loops and the math module's gcd function. This approach iterates through all possible fractions and counts those meeting the specified criteria.
Added an improved solution utilizing the Numba library for optimized performance. This implementation uses a Numba-optimized function solution decorated with @njit to compile the code to machine code, significantly improving execution speed. The algorithm employs a different approach to count fractions between 1/3 and 1/2. It utilizes a loop with numerator and denominator ranges to calculate the count, avoiding unnecessary iterations by counting the fractions directly meeting the criteria while leveraging Numba's JIT compilation for efficiency.
Fixes #8594
