The problem asks for the number of ordered pairs (a, b) of positive integers where a is less than b, both a and b are between 100 and 1000, and the ratio of their greatest common divisor to their least common multiple is 1 to 495. This requires finding pairs that meet these specific mathematical conditions. The solution involves analyzing the properties of gcd and lcm in relation to the given ratio.
