A172074 Continued fraction expansion of sqrt(12500)+50 = 100*phi, where phi=(sqrt(5)+1)/2 is the golden ratio. 1

%I #28 Jan 26 2021 10:17:48

%S 161,1,4,11,1,1,3,6,1,13,8,1,6,1,4,1,1,2,1,1,1,1,13,2,1,3,8,1,2,19,1,

%U 222

%N Continued fraction expansion of sqrt(12500)+50 = 100*phi, where phi=(sqrt(5)+1)/2 is the golden ratio.

%C The 62 trailing terms are repeated infinitely.

%C This is just one of an infinite set of continued fractions, related to the golden ratio, and more specifically to the square root of 125, 12500, 1250000...

%C Taking phi*10^k, one can look at sqrt(125) + 5, sqrt(12500) + 50 (this sequence, sqrt(1250000) + 500, etc.

%C This is not an efficient way to calculate phi - _Franklin T. Adams-Watters_, Sep 10 2011.

%C Periodic with a period of length 62, starting right after the initial term. Moreover, the sequence is symmetric when any 54 or 222 is taken as central value (cf. formula). - _M. F. Hasler_, Sep 09 2011

%F a(31*k - n) = a(31*k + n), for all n < 31k, k > 0. - _M. F. Hasler_, Sep 09 2011
