Question 10

Given that

$$\frac AB=2-\cfrac1{2-\cfrac1{2-\cfrac1{\ddots-\cfrac1{2-\frac{2016}{2017}}}}}.$$

has 2017 layers as shown, where $A,B$ are positive integers, find $A+B$. Note that

$$2-\cfrac1{2-\frac{2016}{2017}}$$

is the first layer.

Source note: no condition that $A/B$ is in lowest terms is printed; this affects uniqueness.
