    2 mod 3 (above), 3 mod 4, 2 or 3 mod 5, 3, 5, or 6 mod 7, or; 5 mod 8. Combinations of Mordell's identities can be used to expand for all except possibly those that are 1, 121, 169, 289, 361, or 529 mod 840. The smallest prime that these identities do not cover is 1009.

  3. Continued fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continued_fraction

    For the folded general continued fractions of both expressions, the rate convergence μ = (3 − √ 8) 2 = 17 − √ 288 ≈ 0.02943725, hence ⁠ 1 / μ ⁠ = (3 + √ 8) 2 = 17 + √ 288 ≈ 33.97056, whose common logarithm is 1.531... ≈ ⁠ 26 / 17 ⁠ > ⁠ 3 / 2 ⁠, thus adding at least three digits per two terms. This is because the ...

    Thus the first term to appear between ⁠ 1 / 3 ⁠ and ⁠ 2 / 5 ⁠ is ⁠ 3 / 8 ⁠, which appears in F 8. The total number of Farey neighbour pairs in F n is 2| F n | − 3. The Stern–Brocot tree is a data structure showing how the sequence is built up from 0 (= ⁠ 0 / 1 ⁠) and 1 (= ⁠ 1 / 1 ⁠), by taking successive mediants.

  5. Simple continued fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_continued_fraction

    The simplest examples are the golden ratio φ = [1;1,1,1,1,1,...] and √ 2 = [1;2,2,2,2,...], while √ 14 = [3;1,2,1,6,1,2,1,6...] and √ 42 = [6;2,12,2,12,2,12...]. All irrational square roots of integers have a special form for the period; a symmetrical string, like the empty string (for √ 2 ) or 1,2,1 (for √ 14 ), followed by the ...

  6. Fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraction

    Unit fractions can also be expressed using negative exponents, as in 2 −1, which represents 1/2, and 22, which represents 1/(2 2) or 1/4. A dyadic fraction is a common fraction in which the denominator is a power of two , e.g. ⁠ 1 / 8 ⁠ = ⁠ 1 / 2 3 ⁠ .

  7. Euler's continued fraction formula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_continued_fraction...

    Euler derived the formula as connecting a finite sum of products with a finite continued fraction. (+ (+ (+))) = + + + + = + + + +The identity is easily established by induction on n, and is therefore applicable in the limit: if the expression on the left is extended to represent a convergent infinite series, the expression on the right can also be extended to represent a convergent infinite ...

  8. Heaviside cover-up method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heaviside_cover-up_method

    When a partial fraction term has a single (i.e. unrepeated) binomial in the denominator, the numerator is a residue of the function defined by the input fraction. We calculate each respective numerator by (1) taking the root of the denominator (i.e. the value of x that makes the denominator zero) and (2) then substituting this root into the ...
