EXAMPLE

A072398(5) = 312689 because A072398(5)/A072399(5) = 312689/99532 is the best rational approximation to Pi with positive denominator <= 10^5 = 100000. This approximation is accurate to 0.00000000092766%.

PROG

(PARI) for(n=0, 40, print1(numerator(bestappr(Pi, 10^n)), ", ")) (Finds these approximations very quickly.)
