Repeating Continued Fractions
![]() The continued fraction expansions of the square roots of the integers that are not perfect squares possess the so-called "palindromic property". That means that their periodic element sequences without the last element are palindromic (i. e., can be reversed), and the last element is twice the initial term. For example, the continued fraction expansion of is {5, {1, 1, 3, 5, 3, 1, 1, 10}}. The sequence 1, 1, 3, 5, 3, 1, 1 is palindromic, and the 10 is two times the initial 5.For more, see A Tail of Two Palindromes. ![]() "Repeating Continued Fractions" from The Wolfram Demonstrations Project http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/RepeatingContinuedFractions/ Contributed by: Ed Pegg Jr Additional contributions by: Andreas Lauschke | ||||||||||||||
