FRACTRAN: Understanding a FRACTRAN program, Creating simple programs & Conway's prime algorithm

FRACTRAN is a Turing-complete esoteric programming language invented by the mathematician John Conway. A FRACTRAN program is an ordered list of positive fractions together with an initial positive integer input n. The program is run by updating the integer n as follows:
