    In general, a common fraction is said to be a proper fraction, if the absolute value of the fraction is strictly less than one—that is, if the fraction is greater than −1 and less than 1. [14] [15] It is said to be an improper fraction, or sometimes top-heavy fraction, [16] if the absolute value of the fraction is greater than or equal to 1 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continued_fraction

    A continued fraction is an expression of the form = + + + + + where the a n (n > 0) are the partial numerators, the b n are the partial denominators, and the leading term b 0 is called the integer part of the continued fraction.

    For example, the numerators of fractions with common denominators can simply be added, such that + = and that <, since each fraction has the common denominator 12. Without computing a common denominator, it is not obvious as to what 5 12 + 11 18 {\displaystyle {\frac {5}{12}}+{\frac {11}{18}}} equals, or whether 5 12 {\displaystyle {\frac {5 ...

    If the absolute value of m is greater than n (supposed to be positive), then the absolute value of the fraction is greater than 1. Fractions can be greater than, less than, or equal to 1 and can also be positive, negative, or 0. The set of all rational numbers includes the integers since every integer can be written as a fraction with ...

    While virtually all real numbers k will eventually have infinitely many convergents ⁠ m / n ⁠ whose distance from k is significantly smaller than this limit, the convergents for φ (i.e., the numbers ⁠ 5 / 3 ⁠, ⁠ 8 / 5 ⁠, ⁠ 13 / 8 ⁠, ⁠ 21 / 13 ⁠, etc.) consistently "toe the boundary", keeping a distance of almost exactly ...
