Abstract

This article refers to using Geogebra and SAS/STAT software for expansion of fractions into sums of distinct unit (so-called Egyptian) fractions. There is a brief introduction into the theory of Egyptian fractions and simple algorithm for their expansion written in Geogebra and SAS/STAT. In the end, there are several examples available for use in the math of elementary and secondary school in which the Egyptian fractions are used by looking for a solution.
