For any interval A\mathcal{A} in the real number line not containing zero, define its reciprocal to be the set of numbers of the form 1x\frac 1x where xx is an element in A\mathcal{A}. Compute the number of ordered pairs of positive integers (m,n)(m,n) with m<nm< n such that the length of the interval [m,n][m,n] is 101010^{10} times the length of its reciprocal.
