A128837 Numerator of the continued fraction convergents of the decimal concatenation of the natural numbers. 0
0, 1, 1490845, 2981691, 16399300, 35780291, 52179591, 609755792, 661935383, 1271691175, 1933626558, 10939823965, 12873450523, 23813274488, 36686725011, 60499999499 (list; graph; refs; listen; history; internal format)

COMMENTS

The 15th convergent breaks down at number 16 so a 24 digit ratio gives 24 digits accuracy. The 16th convergent breaks down at the 97th number. It is amazing that a 24 digit ratio gives 186 digits of accuracy in the expansion!

FORMULA

The natural numbers 0,1,2,3,.. are concatenated and then preceded by a decimal point to create the fraction N = .0123456789101112131415... . This number is then evaluated with n=0,m=steps to iterate,x = N, a(0)=floor(N) using the loop: do a(n)=floor(x) x=1/(x-a(n)) n=n+1 loop until n=m

EXAMPLE

The 15th convergent

36686725011/2971624750499 = 0.01234567891011121314151610314942472616...

The 16th convergent 60499999499/4900500000000 =
