   If this infinite continued fraction converges at all, it must converge to one of the roots of the monic polynomial x 2 + bx + c = 0. Unfortunately, this particular continued fraction does not converge to a finite number in every case. We can easily see that this is so by considering the quadratic formula and a monic polynomial with real ...

   However, if the fraction 1/1 is replaced by the fraction 2/2, which is an equivalent fraction denoting the same rational number 1, the mediant of the fractions 2/2 and 1/2 is 3/4. For a stronger connection to rational numbers the fractions may be required to be reduced to lowest terms , thereby selecting unique representatives from the ...

   The diagonal of a half square forms the basis for the geometrical construction of a golden rectangle.. The golden ratio φ is the arithmetic mean of 1 and . [4] The algebraic relationship between , the golden ratio and the conjugate of the golden ratio (Φ = − ⁠ 1 / φ ⁠ = 1 − φ) is expressed in the following formulae:
