EXAMPLE

A072399(6) = 364913 because A072398(6)/A072399(6) = 1146408/364913 is the best rational approximation to Pi with positive denominator <= 10^6 = 1000000. This approximation is accurate to 0.000000000051271%.

PROG

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