EXAMPLE
3 + 1/7 is closest to Pi in absolute value among numbers of the form 3 + 1/k (k an integer); 3.1 + 1/24 is closest to Pi in absolute value among numbers of the form 3.1 + 1/k (k an integer); 3.14 + 1/628 is closest to Pi in absolute value among numbers of the form 3.14 + 1/k (k an integer).
