2021 AIME I Problem 10

Consider the sequence (a_k)_{k\ge 1} of positive rational numbers defined by a_1 = \frac{2020}{2021} and for k\ge 1, if a_k = \frac{m}{n} for relatively prime positive integers m and n, then

a_{k+1} = \frac{m + 18}{n+19}.Determine the sum of all positive integers j such that the rational number a_j can be written in the form \frac{t}{t+1} for some positive integer t.

Leading zeroes must be inputted, so if your answer is 34, then input 034
