Question 5

Let $h>1$ be an integer. A positive fraction, not necessarily reduced, is good if its positive numerator and denominator sum to $h$. Call $h$ remarkable if every positive fraction whose denominator is less than $h$ can be expressed using good fractions, not necessarily distinct, and only addition and subtraction. Prove that $h$ is remarkable if and only if it is prime.
