	Continued fraction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Multiplying in like manner the numerator and denominator of this fraction by the third quotient, and adding to the numerator the numerator of the preceding fraction, and to the denominator the denominator of the preceding fraction, we shall have the third fraction, which will be too small.
		The first term, as we see, is the first fraction; the first and second together give the second fraction, 22/7; the first, the second and the third give the third fraction 333/106, and so on with the rest; the result being that the series entire is equivalent to the original value.
		Continued fractions also play a role in the study of chaos, where they tie together the Farey fractions which are seen in the Mandelbrot set with the Minkowski question mark function and the modular group Gamma.

		Whenever he needed to perform arithmetic, he just plugged it into a calculator and scribbled down as much of the answer as he felt was relevant.
		To make this tenable, he assumes that the original fraction is always the simplest one that produces the given sequence of digits; by simplest, he means the the one with smallest denominator.
		Also, he assumes that he did not neglect to write down important digits; no digit from the repeating portion of the decimal expansion was left unrecorded (even if this repeating portion was all zeroes).

		The denominator of each fraction is the number of rods that would be used if the train was equal in length to the unit.
		For example, in the first fraction of the equivalent fraction group 1, the numerator of 2/8 is the number of white rods used in the fraction (2) and the denominator of 2/8 is the number of white rods that would be needed to equal the unit in length (8).
		In the second equivalent fraction, the numerator of 1/4 is the number of red rods used in the fraction (1) and the denominator is the number of red rods (4) that would be required to equal the unit length.

	Numbers and Functions as Continued Fractions - Numericana
		The rational value whose [finite] continued fraction expansion is a truncation of the continued fraction expansion of a given number is called a convergent of that number.
		Continued fractions for which the sequence of partial quotients is ultimately periodic are called periodic continued fractions and they correspond to quadratic irrationals [also called algebraic numbers of degree 2, these are irrational roots of polynomials of degree 2 with integral coefficients].
		With continued fractions, the latter would be simpler than the former (in fact, it would be trivial) if we did not have to contend with negative numbers...

		Since the number of ways a certain outcome may occur is always smaller or equal to the total number of outcomes, the probability of an event is some number from 0 through 1.
