  5. Unit fraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_fraction

    Slices of approximately 1/8 of a pizza. A unit fraction is a positive fraction with one as its numerator, 1/ n.It is the multiplicative inverse (reciprocal) of the denominator of the fraction, which must be a positive natural number.

    For example, if the continued fraction diverges by oscillation between two distinct limit points p and q, then the sequence {x 0, x 2, x 4, ...} must converge to one of these, and {x 1, x 3, x 5, ...} must converge to the other.

    The approximation ⁠ 161 / 72 ⁠ (≈ 2.23611) for the square root of five can be used. Despite having a denominator of only 72, it differs from the correct value by less than ⁠ 1 / 10,000 ⁠ (approx. 4.3 × 10 −5). As of January 2022, the numerical value in decimal of the square root of 5 has been computed to at least 2,250,000,000,000 ...
