%N A modified Engel expansion of the Euler-Mascheroni constant gamma.
%C See A220393 for the definition of the modified Engel expansion of a positive real number. For further details see the Bala link.

%F Let h(x) = x*(floor(1/x) + (floor(1/x))^2) - floor(1/x). Let x = gamma (see A001620). Then a(1) = 1 + floor(1/x) and, for n >= 1, a(n+1) = floor(1/h^(n-1)(x))*(1 + floor(1/h^(n)(x))).
%F Put P(n) = Product_{k = 1..n} a(k). Then we have the Egyptian fraction series expansion sqrt(2) = Sum_{n>=1} 1/P(n) = 1/2 + 1/(2*7) + 1/(2*7*18) + 1/(2*7*18*4) + 1/(2*7*18*4*2) + .... The error made in truncating this series to n terms is less than the n-th term.
