How to prove that construction of Farey sequence by mediant is coverage?

Farey sequence of order $n+1$ ($F_{n+1}$) can be construct by adding mediant value (${a+c \over b+d}$) into $F_{n}$, where ${a \over b}$ and ${c \over d}$ are consecutive term in $F_{n}$, and $b+d = ...

Constructing Farey sequences inductively

Objective: I'd like to prove that $F_{n+1}$ (the Farey sequence of order $n+1$) is obtained form the Farey sequence $F_n$ of order $n$ by adding all fractions of the form $\frac{a+c}{b+d}$ when ...

What is the sum of the squares of the differences of consecutive element of a Farey Sequence

A Farey sequence of order $n$ is a list of the rational numbers between 0 and 1 inclusive whose denominator is less than or equal to $n$. For example $F_6= ...
