Problem Statement

<spanclass=latexbold>N6.</span><span class='latex-bold'>N6.</span> Let a,ba,b be positive integers. If a,ba,b satisfy that \begin{align*} \frac{a+1}{b} + \frac{b+1}{a} \end{align*} is also a positive integer, show that \begin{align*} \frac{a+b}{gcd(a,b)^2} \end{align*} is a Fibonacci number.
