COMMENT

The 15th convergent breaks down at number 16 so a 24 digit ratio gives 24 digits accuracy. The 16th convergent breaks down at the 97th number. It is amazing that a 24 digit ratio gives 186 digits of accuracy in the expansion!

FORMULA

The natural numbers 0,1,2,3,.. are concatenated and then preceded by a decimal point to create the fraction N = .0123456789101112131415... . This number is then evaluated with n=0,m=steps to iterate,x = N, a(0)=floor(N) using the loop: do a(n)=floor(x) x=1/(x-a(n)) n=n+1 loop until n=m

EXAMPLE

The 15th convergent

36686725011/2971624750499 = 0.01234567891011121314151610314942472616...

The 16th convergent 60499999499/4900500000000 =

0.0123456789101112131415161718192021222324252627282930313233343536373839404142\

PROGRAM

(PARI) cfrac2(m, f) = { default(realprecision, 1000); cf = vector(m+10); cf = contfrac(f); for(m1=0, m-1, r=cf[m1+1]; forstep(n=m1, 1, -1, r = 1/r; r+=cf[n]; ); numer=numerator(r); denom=denominator(r); print1(denom", "); ) }
