    For the folded general continued fractions of both expressions, the rate convergence μ = (3 − √ 8) 2 = 17 − √ 288 ≈ 0.02943725, hence ⁠ 1 / μ ⁠ = (3 + √ 8) 2 = 17 + √ 288 ≈ 33.97056, whose common logarithm is 1.531... ≈ ⁠ 26 / 17 ⁠ > ⁠ 3 / 2 ⁠, thus adding at least three digits per two terms. This is because the ...
