Project Euler Problem 57: https://projecteuler.net/problem=57
|
||
|
|
It is possible to show that the square root of two can be expressed as an infinite
|
||
|
|
continued fraction.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
sqrt(2) = 1 + 1 / (2 + 1 / (2 + 1 / (2 + ...)))
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By expanding this for the first four iterations, we get:
|
||
|
|
1 + 1 / 2 = 3 / 2 = 1.5
|
||
|
|
1 + 1 / (2 + 1 / 2} = 7 / 5 = 1.4
|
||
|
|
1 + 1 / (2 + 1 / (2 + 1 / 2)) = 17 / 12 = 1.41666...
|
||
|
|
1 + 1 / (2 + 1 / (2 + 1 / (2 + 1 / 2))) = 41/ 29 = 1.41379...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The next three expansions are 99/70, 239/169, and 577/408, but the eighth expansion,
|
||
|
|
1393/985, is the first example where the number of digits in the numerator exceeds
|
||
|
|
the number of digits in the denominator.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In the first one-thousand expansions, how many fractions contain a numerator with
|
||
|
|
more digits than the denominator?
