For fun I found the continued fraction expression of the ratio of these two big integers:
1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 4, 1, 3, 12, 5, 1, 2, 1, 19, 3, 3, 3, 1, 1, 3, 2, 2, 3, 1, 5, 1, 4, 28, 2, 1, 3, 1, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 10, 4, 1, 5, 6, 13, 1, 1, 2, 23, 1, 3, 16, 1, 29, 14, 4, 1, 3, 2. It agrees with sqrt(2) for 70 steps. On 2015-7-12 23:54, David Goldberg wrote:
