Given a circle with its perimeter equal to ( ), the least positive integer which satisfies the following condition is called the “number of the partitioned circle”: there are points () on the circle; For any integer (), there always exist two points (), such that the length of arc is equal to . Furthermore, all arcs between every two adjacent points (, ) form a sequence called the “sequence of the partitioned circle”. For example when , the number of the partitioned circle =4, the sequence of the partitioned circle or . Determine the values of and , and find a possible solution of and respectively.
