I should add that Daniel Lichtblau's minFraction just needs to be
tweaked a bit to find this result:
minFraction[lo_Rational, hi_Rational] /; 0 < lo < hi :=
Minimize[{p + q, {Denominator[lo]*p - Numerator[lo]*q > 0,
Denominator[hi]*p - Numerator[hi]*q < 0, p >= 1, q >= 1}}, {p, q}, Integers]
In[81]:= minFraction[113/355, 106/333]
Out[81]= {907,{p->219,q->688}}
