COMMENTS
| The n-th greedy frac multiple of x is the smallest integer that does not cause sum(k=1..n,frac(a(k)*x)) to exceed unity; an infinite number of terms appear as the denominators of the convergents to the continued fraction of x.
|
|
|
EXAMPLE
| a(4) = 8 since frac(1x) + frac(2x) + frac(3x) + frac(8x) < 1, while frac(1x) + frac(2x) + frac(3x) + frac(k*x) > 1 for all k>3 and k<8.
