Continued Fraction Calculator
Continued fraction calculator is used to calculate the continued fraction representation of simple fractional numbers. It converts the simple fraction into a sequence of numbers and the reciprocal of a simple fraction.
What is a Continued Fraction?
Continued fractions are a unique way of representing real numbers as an infinite sequence of numbers where each number is the sum of an integer and the reciprocal of a simple fraction. A continued fraction is used to approximate the real numbers to their simple form.
Formula
The formula to find the continued fraction is:
r = a0 + 1/a1+1
Where,
- a0 = first term.
- a1 = next term.
How to calculate the Continued Fraction?
Example 1:
Find the Continued fraction when the simple fraction is “7/8”.
Solution:
Step 1: Write the given fraction.
Simple fraction = 7/8, Continued fraction =?
Step 2: Write the formula to find continued fraction
r = a0 + 1/a1+1
Step 3: Write the given fraction in the above expression.
Simple fraction = 7/8
Simple fraction = 1/(8/7)
Simple fraction = 1/[1 + 1/7] ----------> (i)
Continued fraction formula.
r = a0 + 1/a1+1 ---------> (ii)
Compared the equation (i) & (ii) then get the answer.
Generalized continued fraction = [0; 1, 7]
